If not for the foresight of Charles Vermot, there would be no modern Zenith El Primero movements today. The company was sold and moved to manufacturing quartz-based movement timepieces.  After being ordered to sell the metal materials, including the dies, machining tools & presses, Vermot hid everything needed to restart production on the El Primero movement inside the factory in a loft area.  Years later, when Rolex approached Zenith to produce a mechanical automatic chronograph movement for their Daytona model, Vermot had everything needed to begin production.  Shortly after, Zenith began production again of its own mechanical watches using this magnificent movement.  

The Zenith El Primero Chronomaster Revival 50th Anniversary Ref A384 features a 37mm tonneau-shaped stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal and an exhibition case back.  The white lacquered dial features a black tachymeter scale at the outer edge and three black sub-dials at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions.  The hour and minute hands are lumed with a red central chronograph hand.  A date window is located between the 4 and 5 o’clock positions.  An automatic El Primero high-frequency movement with a 50-hour power reserve powers the A384 revival.  

This one-owner Zenith El Primero Chronomaster Revival 50th Anniversary Ref A384 includes the outer and inner boxes, the owners manual, the quick-step guide, the leather Zenith hang tag, the warranty card, the black leather card holder, a Zenith cleaning cloth, the original purchase receipt, and the original black alligator leather strap with stainless steel buckle.
