The result is a sleek, monochromatic look that reminds me of the futuristic Zenith Defy, rather than the vintage remakes.īut the watch also incorporates plenty of vintage-inspired touches. First found on the Defy 21 Land Rover, the finish is essentially a form of frosting accomplished by shooting tiny ceramic spheres at the case surface, giving it a fine, grained finish. The micro-blasted titanium case is also noteworthy. It does detract slightly from functionality since the central seconds hand can no longer record elapsed time, though it can still measure rate of travel with the tachymeter. Zenith did away with the seconds track and date window found on the standard A384, giving the dial a stark, utilitarian style. I absolutely love the clean look stemming from the streamlined design.
Anyone who knows Zenith will understand that’s an A384, but different. On the wrist, the Shadow stands out in a subtle but striking manner, especially to a watch enthusiast. In fact, it looked to me more like a Bamford collaboration rather than a standard model.
I was struck by how different it looked on the wrist distinct not only from the other El Primero chronographs, but against other offerings at the same price point. I had a visceral reaction when I first strapped on the Shadow: my heart sang, and a smile crept onto my face.
