Introducing the Zenith Chronomaster Revival Manufacture Edition
Clearly excited about the launch of Chronomaster Revival Manufacture Edition, CEO Julien Tornare kicks off his presentation for the watch saying, “I remember it like it was yesterday, it was mid-November, 2018. I was in a marketing meeting here [at the manufacture] and suddenly I got a phone call from two of my colleagues asking me, ‘Julian, can you come to the attic? We found something very interesting [that you must see].
“I replied saying, ‘are you sure [right now]? I mean, I’m in a meeting right now.’ But I know that [they would] never pull me out of a meeting like this if it wasn’t important. I said, sure – left the meeting and I ran to the attic.”
When Julien got there, his colleagues held out a small box to him with some old dials in it. Zenith’s Le Locle manufacture is a facility that has been there for several generations, aside from the famed attic of treasures stowed away by Charles Vermot, one would expect to find dials all over the grounds.

Prototype dials discovered in their famed attic from the days of Charles Vermot, which inspired the Zenith Chronomaster Revival Manufacture Edition
“Here what we loved is that the blue dials with the three shades of blue has never been ever commercialized,” says Julien. “These guys were probably prototype dials. And it was part Charles Vermot’s treasures that he decided to hide. Did he just bring a lot of such boxes and things into the attic? We don’t really know. What we know is that these dials had never ever been used and commercialized. And the fact that we only found them in 2018 in the heart, and the soul of our manufacture, in the attic.”
Quite clearly these were dials bound for the A386, having that tri-color design. But much like the Chronomaster Revival “Shadow,” here’s another vintage toned release that finds its origins in the grand tale of the famed attic.
When Julien returned from the attic that day, he asked Zenith’s executive committee to gather along with the two people who found the dials. He quickly turned the subject of the disrupted meeting and asked, “What do we do with these guys? They’re incredible.”
Julien admits at this point that it took the team and him quite a bit of time to decide exactly what needed to be done. But the decision was ultimately made to produce the dials for a fresh new A386. The watch was also given a name: the Chronomaster Revival Manufacture Edition.

Now, why Manufacture Edition? “Because it was found in the manufacture,” explains Julien. “And as you all know, Zenith being an innovative brand was also the first to open up its doors to visitors two years ago, with the Tourism Board of Neuchatel. We are the only brand to have taken such an initiative. At first it was once per week, but I’ve had to double it since because of the high demand. We basically have two and a half days per week, when people can sign in and visit our manufacture, and we open up all our doors to them.
“With this in mind, we’ve decided to call it a ‘Manufacture Edition’ because you can only buy it when you visit the manufacture,” shares Julien. “Meaning that if one day you see someone wearing this watch, on a plane, at an airport, at an event, wherever you are, you know that this person has been to our manufacture. We are not going to sell it through our retailer or our boutiques. You will be able to purchase this watch, only when you come to visit us at the manufacture.”

Well that all sounds like a great idea, but with the present state of the world, no one’s going to be traveling up to Le Locle anytime soon. What then? “Of course, you can imagine that visits to the manufacture, unfortunately, are suspended for now. So, I decided because we are launching our e-commerce in so many countries, to make this watch exceptionally available on our own online shop. As today we are not in a position to offer a visit, we had to make a little compromise.”
Once visits can be allowed again, however, the watch will be taken off the online shop and be available to buy only at the manufacture for visiting customers. Zenith’s online shop will be rolled out in phases across different geographies, starting with Italy, France and Switzerland in May. Thereafter, in Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States.
