Thread: New Zenith announced with a Two Face from Batman dial

  1. #1

    New Zenith announced with a Two Face from Batman dial

    Having owned a Zenith El Primero Tribute to 1969 I was interested to see the new model just released.

    It's the Chronomaster Revival Lupin the Third edition - the third in the series - with a 37mm titanium case.

    What I wasn't expecting was that it would be an amalgamation of the first two models....literally!

    More info here: https://monochrome-watches.com/zenit...g-specs-price/

    Oh dear. I see that and I think it looks ridiculous. And I really like it.

    250 pieces and 8k, it's going to sell out mighty fast too.

    I saw that posted on a Zenith FB group the other day. I really like the second version (off-white dial - bottom half of that one!) but wasn't aware of it until after they'd all been snapped up. I can't see myself wearing one of these though. I think the novelty would wear off pretty quick.

    I completely agree, ludicrous though it is, it’s strangely appealing.

    That was my reaction too. It's terrible. I love it.

    Definitely needs two complementary models in that case, white-black, black-white. :-)

    Not sure if I like the spaced dials....I prefer the overlapping ones from my old watch

    That is the stupidest watch I’ve ever seen. And the date window is wonky.

    A fool and his money……….

    Probably bought by the same 250 people who have YouTube channels and endless blogs to tell us all it will be a future classic.

    Absolutely love that, if I had that sort of money my decision would have been already made from the very first pic. Stunning imo! The right kind if different.

    Just because something can be done doesn't mean it should be done. Reminds me of those cheap pizza places where you can order a pizza divided in two flavours, just in case you can't make up your mind.

    That looks a mess, not for me, I’m afraid.

    That’s really one watch? Good grief, I thought it was a quirky rubbish marketing photo showing two dial options in a poncy way, that’s awful.
    Cheers..

    Love it. Love the bracelet too.

    For me it's a lot braver and more interesting than the increasingly forced and contrived 'Defy' ranges, which are supposed to be Zenith's innovative offer.

    I don’t want one but can see why others might. The poker chip model is similar for me, no interest but niche. No idea how you’d easily tell the time on them!

    The one I wish they would make in larger numbers is the pink dial cover girl. It’s stunning.

    After some really great releases this looks like a return to the bad old days for Zenith .
    Not quite as horrific as the offerings of the past with bad open work dials and outlandish design but this looks cheap and easy.

    Really thought they had turned the corner with some fantastic desirable watches but this a backwards step

    look at the cover girl against this !
