Luxury Swiss watchmaker Zenith has teamed up with the popular online watch magazine SJX Watches to create the Chronomaster Revival 'Poker Chip.' The collaborative timepiece pays homage to the El Primero G383, a popular model in the '60s and '70s that delivered a blocked black, white, and gold layout that resembled the design of a poker chip.
The new chronograph borrows the poker-chip-like layout of the G383 (hence its name) while modernizing a variety of its features. Here, the watch's dial is delivered in a dark grey rendering that sits atop matte black segments with green Super-LumiNova patterns. As a result, the watch's poker chip motif glows in the dark, giving it a distinctly contemporary feel.
Other notable features of the Chronomaster Revival 'Poker Chip' include a domed sapphire crystal, a micro-blasted titanium construction, and a wear-resistant case.
