And this means a love-or-hate kind of watch. It’s not just a dial, but the entire habillage of the watch that has been treated the Bamford way. While the first collaborative watch launched by Zenith x Bamford for MR PORTER was already quite unique in terms of design, with its gradient blue dial punctuated by white marking radiating at its periphery (something that is Bamford’s signature touch), this new take goes several steps further in terms of customisation. Meet the El Primero Revival A384 “Edge of Space”. Having already collaborated last year on the cult chronograph, Zenith, Bamford and MR PORTER are doing it again this year with a surprising (or any word you want) take on the vintage A384 watch. This has meant multiple re-editions and limited editions based on this movement, from faithful revival watches to more “special” takes on this watch. Zenith did, of course, modernize a handful of elements on the A384 Revival that subtly distinguish it from the 1969 original. As you have probably seen (if you’re into watches, you must have seen it), this year was the 50th anniversary of one of the most legendary movements ever, the El Primero – one of the first automatic chronographs launched.
