Fast forward to 1978, Zenith was now under new management again, who decided that Zenith should reclaim its craft. Keeping to the 37mm size of the original El Primero watch, the A384, the Chronomaster Revival ‘Shadow’ comes in a thoroughly modern and appropriate microblasted titanium case. Not only that, he even listed each component and each tool carefully in a ring-binder file that he kept in a forgotten attic of the Manufacture. He then took it upon himself to stow away the more essential equipment including, the presses (150 of them, weighing more than a ton), the technical plans, the cams and the cutting tools.

He was convinced that mechanical watchmaking would return before long and asked the management at the time to not do away with all of the production equipment. Among them was Charles Vermot, a specialist in chronograph movement construction who had followed the development of El Primero ever since the first sketches and spent his entire career within the Manufacture.
