Zenith did away with the seconds track and date window found on the standard A384, giving the dial a stark, utilitarian style. I absolutely love the clean look stemming from the streamlined design. Anyone who knows Zenith will understand that’s an A384, but different. On the wrist, the Shadow stands out in a subtle but striking manner, especially to a watch enthusiast. In fact, it looked to me more like a Bamford collaboration rather than a standard model.

I was struck by how different it looked on the wrist distinct not only from the other El Primero chronographs, but against other offerings at the same price point. I had a visceral reaction when I first strapped on the Shadow: my heart sang, and a smile crept onto my face. The El Primero A384 Revival that’s a faithful remake of the vintage original Initial thoughts
