Watch Description
CHRONOMASTER REVIVAL SHADOW
The CHRONOMASTER Revival Shadow mimics the look of an obscure ZENITH chronograph prototype from the 1970s that featured a blackened case. Here, the stealthy look is reproduced with an entirely matte finished titanium case. The black dial foregoes the seconds track and the date window. Paired with a microblasted titanium bracelet with folding clasp.
