Like the other timepieces in the collection, it features one chronograph counter, a small-seconds subdial, and a date display in addition to the perforated lancet-shaped hour and minute hands. The design of the dial, which is enclosed by a 43 mm stainless steel case with vintage-inspired mushroom pushers, is rounded out by a tachymeter scale.

Carl F. Bucherer’s CEO Sascha Moeri says that the watch has a statement to make: “Our Manero Flyback collection stands for the free spirit and the cosmopolitan DNA of our company and its founder, Carl Friedrich Bucherer. He opened his first boutique in Lucerne in 1888, but he and his family regularly travelled the world and explored new business opportunities.

It’s fair to say that the green dial adds an unexpected twist to one of our most popular product families and makes this new Manero Flyback Green an ideal companion for contemporary travelers who share the Bucherer family’s adventurous spirit.”

The Flyback Function: What’s in a Name?

The contemporary timepiece features a chronograph with a flyback function, which means that the user can skip the steps of stopping and restarting the chronograph hand and instead reset the time measurement directly while the chronograph hand jumps to zero and the time measurement starts again. As the complication’s name suggests, the hand will “fly back” to the zero position.

The 43 mm stainless steel case has a double-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides along with a sapphire crystal caseback that reveals a clear view of the CFB 1970 automatic movement offering a power reserve of 42 hours.

ZENITH – Chronomaster Revival “Poker Chip” Edition

ZENITH – EL PRIMERO Chronomaster Revival “Poker Chip” Titanium Limited Edition 2021

Singapore, November 15, 2021: Zenith and SJX Watches present a sleek reinterpretation of one of the brand’s most desirable vintage watches with the Chronomaster Revival “Poker Chip”, inspired by the El Primero G383. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Affectionately nicknamed “Poker Chip” by collectors, the G383 is considered one of the most intriguing models in Zenith’s archives. The G383 was introduced in 1969 and is among the rarest and most sought-after iterations of the early El Primero variants.

Clearly a design with roots in the psychedelic era of the late 1960s, and reminiscent of the A386 and its tri-coloured dial, the G383 was characterised by a wildly sectored layout, making it one of the most extravagant designs of the decade. Developed in partnership with one of Zenith’s trusted dial suppliers at the time, the dial immediately stood out with its boldly alternating colours that recall a poker chip, earning it the nickname.

The inimitable style of the G383 formed the genesis of this collaboration, a project that began in May 2020 when Su Jiaxian, founder of Singapore-based watch magazine SJX Watches, reached out to Zenith’s Director of Product & Heritage, Romain Marietta, with a proposal to revive the G383 with a distinctive, modern twist.

The goal for the pair was to reproduce the key elements of the G383, while injecting a sleek, contemporary flavour. That gave birth to the Poker Chip, a design that relies on shades of grey and a generous helping of Super-Luminova to recreate the G383 in daylight – and in darkness.

“I’ve long admired the El Primero for its longevity, and Zenith for its rich heritage,” explains SJX, “I wanted to do something that would combine both the movement and its history, but rather than a remake, I wanted something that might sound like a paradox: a design immediately recognisable as the G383 but unmistakably novel and different.”

The Poker Chip dial is dark grey with printed segments in matte black and Super-Luminova. More “lume” can be found on the hour markers, chronograph scales, as well as the radial patterns around each register.

In a nod to Zenith’s landmark wristwatch, it uses the same 38 mm case as the El Primero A386, but executed in micro-blasted titanium, giving it a finely grained, dark-grey finish that echoes the colours of the dial. Within the titanium case – and visible through the sapphire back – is the El Primero movement, essentially the same calibre that made history in 1969.

Each Chronomaster Revival Poker Chip is delivered with two fabric straps, one in matte black and the other in pale green coated with Super-Luminova and is limited to 200 watches, available at Zenith boutiques and e-commerce worldwide and via SJX Watches.
