Zenith Chronomaster Revival Daisuke Jigen Edition (microblasted titanium)

In the early 1970s the manga Lupin the Third drew its marksman, Daisuke Jigen, wearing a watch clearly modelled on Zenith's 1969 A384, a version that never actually existed in the catalogue, and since 2019 Zenith has been making it real. This fourth edition is the 37 mm tonneau A384 Revival in microblasted titanium, whose dark grey comes from the surface treatment rather than a coating, on a matching titanium ladder bracelet after the Gay Frères original. The beige dial has black counters and a tachymeter, with the date at 4:30 as on the original, and a sapphire caseback engraved with Jigen's silhouette shows the El Primero 400, a column-wheel chronograph at 36,000 vibrations an hour. It is 12.6 mm thick and limited to 200 pieces at $11,600.
