The modern 36000 vph calibre is housed in an identical 37mm case. So what watch could possibly grace its exterior? You guessed it, hence the moniker. Manfred Rossler’s Zenith: Swiss Watch Manufacture Since 1865 is one of the if not thee definitive texts of Zenith collecting.
Although perhaps not as hard to catch as the genuine 1971 article, the revival is still genuinely scarce and no less breezily beautiful. The unimpeachable height of the range, to my eye, came when Zenith collaborated with Wei Koh & Krew over at Revolution to produce a reissue of the A3818.
I don’t know what it says about modern mass-production watchmaking that some of its best is just reliving previous glory but that’s neither here nor there. A contemporary analogue of Omega’s trilogy set, the range has taken the manufacture’s historic icons and breathed modern production into them. Zenith has been on something of home run in recent years with their revival series. Despite that, the modern world has offered one hell of a consolation prize. That is to say, it is legendary and I simply cannot seem to capture it.
P.S., if Unimatic does another run for the U1-H in Hodinkee grey, I will consider adding a 4th watch to my future collection.The easy, breezy, beautiful 1971 Zenith A3818 Cover Girl is something of Mewtwo to me. In conclusion, and as I am putting down all my thoughts for this post, for some reason the universe is answering my call and telling me to get the Omega Seamaster 300 Bronze Gold ()ĭo you guys think the universe is making a right call here? Thr next Seamaster 300 (and please get rid of that lollipop second hand, slightly thinner would be wonderful) The next and hopefully thinner Pelagos (or a bracelet version of the FXD), so far my favorite is the LHD Longines Ultra-Chron (want to try it on!) Squale Sub-39 SuperBlue (or a similar special edition ) which has a nicer 20mm lug to lug） Have tried on the BB58, didn’t feel the connection for some reason. Looking for my 3rd and final watch of my collection (I have a GO PanoMaticLunar and a Zenith Covergirl Airweight).
