Zenith x Revolution Chronomaster Revival A3818 ‘Cover Girl Carbon’: A Lightweight Performance Chronograph

The Zenith x Revolution Chronomaster Revival A3818 ‘Cover Girl Carbon’ represents a fusion of lightweight performance and horological excellence. Weighing an astonishingly low 55 grams on a Velcro strap and 59 grams on a full carbon bracelet, this timepiece is among the lightest chronographs available. The watch is a modern reinterpretation of the classic A384, with advanced materials and a high-performance movement.

Design and Construction

The Chronomaster Revival A3818 ‘Cover Girl Carbon’ follows the blueprint of the original ‘Cover Girl’ model, which gained prominence after featuring on the cover of Manfred Rossler’s book on Zenith. The latest iteration of this timepiece is crafted from high-modulus carbon fiber, a material known for its strength and lightness. This same material is widely used in performance-driven industries, including automotive and aerospace engineering.

The case is manufactured from solid carbon fiber blocks sourced from an aerospace supplier. These blocks are precision-milled by Zenith using CNC machining, resulting in a compact 37mm by 12.5mm case. The shift from stainless steel to carbon fiber results in a significant weight reduction, making the watch nearly half as heavy as the 2020 steel release and 23.2 grams lighter than the 2022 titanium edition.

Dial and Display Features

The dial of the Chronomaster Revival A3818 ‘Cover Girl Carbon’ is constructed from matte black carbon fiber. The design elements include a “shark tooth” chronograph scale, an integrated pulsometer, and a tachymeter positioned along the perimeter. The watch is further enhanced with applied Super-LumiNova-filled hands, indices, and chronograph scales, ensuring optimal legibility in low-light conditions.

Movement and Performance

The timepiece is powered by the El Primero caliber 400, an automatic chronograph movement operating at a high frequency of 5Hz. This movement provides a power reserve of approximately 50 hours. The watch displays hours, minutes, and seconds, along with a date function and a chronograph featuring 30-minute and 12-hour totalizers.

The movement is housed within a caseback made from blacked-out Grade 5 titanium, which complements the lightweight and robust nature of the watch.

The Chronomaster Revival A3818 ‘Cover Girl Carbon’ is available in two variations:

– Velcro Strap: The lightweight carbon fiber velcro strap option weighs 55 grams.

– Full Carbon Bracelet: A Gay Frères-inspired ladder-style carbon fiber bracelet option weighs 59 grams. This version is an extremely limited production, with only 10 pieces available.

Conclusion

By utilizing advanced carbon fiber technology, Zenith has successfully created a lightweight yet robust chronograph that stands out both in aesthetics and performance. With its limited availability and unique construction, this timepiece represents a highly desirable collector’s item.
