Inside is the El Primero automatic high-frequency integrated chronograph calibre, visible through the sapphire display back engraved with a drawing of Daisuke Jigen. The first two watches were new releases created based on two previously non existent dial pattern A384 Zenith watches that were drawn on a character in various episodes of the show this final one is a split dial that combines both of those styles and it completely blew my mind. The Lupin Edition, however, is only available in Japan and is limited to 50 pieces. The final edition of the Zenith Chronomaster Revival Lupin the Third is limited to 250 pieces and retails for CHF 9,900. The first two Chronomasters in this limited-edition series featured previously unproduced dials.

It is also the last piece in a trio of watches inspired by the Japanese manga and anime series Lupin The Third. The dial is housed in a 37mm steel barrel-shaped case that is a reproduction of the 1969 A384 case in proportions and finish and paired with a steel ladder bracelet originally designed by the famed Gay Frères company with a retro touch. Pricing for the Zenith A384 Revival Lupin The Third Edition is not yet confirmed, but it’s expected to be close to that of the standard A384 Revival, which costs 7,600. This Lupin The Third Final Edition is the latest installment into Zenith’s highly successful Chronomaster Revival range. On one side, the first Chronomaster Revival Lupin The Third edition’s semi-glossy black dial with deep grey counters and golden applied markers and hands, and on the other side, the second edition’s creamy-white dial with contrasting black counters in a “panda” configuration with beige SuperLumiNova.Ī delicate and long process, the blank dial is first finished entirely in a silvery-white colour on the right half, then the black chronograph counters are milled while the rest of the dial is protected with a layer of transparent and colourless lacquer.
