Zenith

I was lucky enough to score one...

 

After a few Google-Translate emails with the Zenith Ginza Boutique and a few hiccups with customs, I finally received it just before the end of the year - and on the steel ladder bracelet smile


To give the watch some context, it's the first watch to be based on a Japanese manga and anime series, Lupin the Third.

The animated show originally aired in 1971 I think, and one of the main characters, Jigen, is often depicted wearing nice watches. In one episode, he was wearing what looked like a Zenith El Primero A384, but with a dial that never existed.

I just love the fact that it's a reissue of a watch that only existed in an anime.

I agree with the comments about the white dial, but it's faithful to the watch in the show.
