    In this video, we’ll take a look at Zenith’s stealthiest El Primero, the Chronomaster Revival Shadow, equipped with the El Primero 4061 caliber. With a set of vintage-style dimensions and a micro-blasted titanium case, the Revival Shadow is a perfect example of Zenith's ability to pair classic DNA coming from the El Primero chronographs of decades past with modern watchmaking innovation.

    I love that Zenith is going back in time and size. With seemingly every watch model getting bigger and bigger (Submariner, etc.), Zenith is reminding us that a wrist watch isn't supposed to be shown off but worn.

    The best thing about the El Primero, other than its history, is the fact that the movement made its way into so many other manufacturers’s watches.
    I have owned a few Zeniths with the movement, and I currently have a Concord Impresario with the triple date, triple register Cal. 411, but it’s also shown up in one form or another in watches ranging from Ebel to Rolex.

She keeps great time, but I would like to have a more current model as I'm 66 and one never knows when they may get called home. Take care and keep up the great work.

    I have the Liberty edition of this watch. While mine has the bright cheery look that gives it a different personality than the Shadow, I agree with you that it wears extremely well especially for smaller wrists. Pusher feel is very good, and the movement looks fantastic. It’s a great piece considering the engnineering involved and the movement’s historical significance.

Matter of fact, I like it so much that I am likely going to take my name off the waitlist for a new Rolex Explorer 1 36mm and get this watch! If I could only afford both! But this has got the edge. Even though it's a chronograph, it is a no date. And it has a super symmetrical dial. Brilliant! Thanks again!

    Here are some ideas for videos that I think would be interesting. (1) Have a watch enthusiast design an office wall clock. The movement would be a cheap movement which would constrain the time commitment and cost. Manufacture a prototype of the designed watch. This would be an interesting video because it would document the watch enthusiast's creativity as they design a holy grail office wall clock. The video would be even more fun if the video features multiple people designing wall clocks due to the friendly competition. (2) Give a watch collection a makeover by swapping out the watch straps.

    Very nice. These are awesome but sadly cannot turn me away from the new Speedy. Would definitely buy if I had an unlimited or large budget

    Would you be willing or can you review the new Hamilton chronograph? (Its a black and gold)
    Was really interested in it but I was worried about size as I have smaller wrists. It's pricey.... so.... I wanna KNOW that I'll love it 😅

    Looks fantastic, a watch that you can wear out and about that is a not in your face if you know what I mean. Non hacking used to bother me but as I've got older that on the nudge second is err.. secondary. Size is good, movement should be good and it's high beat too, And in titanium so let's hope it's also obtainium as well.

    What does that star logo represent? Just out of curiosity ...

    Almost there but ultimately an opportunity missed. The case is too square, and it should be actually black where it is grey. That said, a good video, and I notice you wore an all black outfit to accompany the theme.
