I’ll often subconsciously overlook watches with this case measurement, but the angular and stylized tonneau case looks pretty perfect on my 7.5 inch wrist. The Zenith El Primero A384 Revival comes on a 37mm-wide and 12.6mm-thick case that strikes pretty ideal proportions. Ultimately, the ladder bracelet looks as true to the original as possible, and it succeeds because it complements the A384 so well (again). The long end links and thin center links with long gaps in between each is a distinctly retro-feeling design and ultimately a design that makes a rather comfortable watch to wear. It was one that really bore no likeness to the aforementioned bracelets due to its open design. Nobody was a specialist in creating steel bracelets at that time, so GF was a necessary partner.Īt that same time, Frères did the ladder bracelet for the Zenith El Primero. Oh, Gay Frères was also instrumental in working with Audemars Piguet to create a steel bracelet for the Royal Oak and with Patek Philippe to create the Nautilus bracelet. Frères did takes on the beads-of-rice style in the mid-20th century, most notably for Heuer. Fun fact: Way back in 2016, the most expensive watch sold was the Patek Philippe 1518 (which sold for the pauper’s fortune of $11 million) that had a Gay Frères beads-of-rice bracelet. Frères also did work for the other big boys, creating bracelets for Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin. It was the first bracelet supplier for Rolex in the 1930s and 1940s, supplying what can reasonably be described as the proto-Oyster bracelet (decades later in 1998, Rolex would outright purchase the firm). An ergonomically designed stainless-steel bracelet, water resistance of up to 100 meters and a power reserve of up to 60 hours make this watch, which is equally suitable for men and women, a reliable everyday companion.There aren’t many watch bracelet makers whom enthusiasts, let alone casual fans, would know by name, but Gay Frères is up there. The matte black dial with a date display between four and five o'clock and an outer scale for the precise measurement of tenths of a second harmonizes perfectly with this. Further complications such as the 60-minute counter and the 60-second counter find their place in the overlapping totalizers, which are designed in the brand's colors, as is typical for Zenith.
With its transparent counter for the running seconds, the self-winding 1/10th of a second chronograph movement El Primero 3604 characterizes this version not only with technical sophistication, but also with a fascinating visual appearance. 03.3300.3604/21.M3300) presents an unobstructed view of the watch’s high-precision beating heart, which Zenith accurately fits into the 39.5-millimeter stainless-steel case.
