Short-lived and produced in limited numbers, this model was a special reference derived from the tonneau-shaped A385 and featured an integrated ladder-style bracelet manufactured by legendary bracelet manufacturer Gay Flair. Since she appeared on the cover of Manfred Rössler’s book ZENITH – Swiss Watch Manufacture Since 1865, she is affectionately known as “Cover Girl” among vintage watch enthusiasts.

The third installment of the collaboration commemorating Revolution’s 20th anniversary breaks new ground by reinterpreting the original design and clean lines of the 37mm case, using a lightweight carbon composite as the material. A carbon composite with an outstanding weight-to-strength ratio gives this new model a high-tech look with a distinctive woven pattern. The steel model weighs 110.6g and the titanium model weighs 78.3g, while the Chronomaster Revival A3818 Cover Girl Carbon, whose case and bracelet are entirely made of carbon, weighs only 60g.

The pulsometer scale can be read from the first 15 seconds and the tachymeter display from the remaining 45 seconds. Dynamic black and white subdials create a striking contrast, while luminous coatings enhance legibility in any environment. The black PVD-finished titanium caseback offers a view of the El Primero 400 caliber through a sapphire glass. A descendant of the original El Primero, the world’s first high-frequency automatic chronograph movement introduced in 1969, the El Primero 400 operates at a frequency of 5Hz (36,000 vph) and is accurate to 1/10 of a second. This watch is made up of 326 parts and has a power reserve of approximately 50 hours.

For this model, with its baton-shaped hour marker dial, the iconic Gay Flare ladder bracelet is recreated for the first time in carbon composite. The Chronomaster Revival A3818 Covergirl Carbon will be available at Revolution and Zenith boutiques and authorized dealers worldwide. “In our third collaboration with Zenith, we are thrilled to announce the
Chronomaster Revival A3818 Covergirl Carbon, which for the first time uses carbon fiber, a material that embodies strength, lightness, and modernity, in its entire structure. This piece is a passionate tribute to one of the rarest El Primero watches. With this collaboration, we wanted to express something more than just exterior appeal for the modern market. It must offer collectors true innovative quality and value. The concept was realized with the legendary “Cover Bar”, an evolution made of cutting-edge carbon fibre. We would like to thank Benoît de Craque, Romain Marietta and the entire Zenith team for their continued partnership in 2020.” Mr. Wei Ko, Founder of Revolution Magazine The ultimate “Cover Girl” that people would want to have was born. The perfect blend of 1970s vintage style and cutting-edge futuristic design wrapped in striking carbon. The collaboration withZenith’s friends Revolution began as a tribute to the original steel Covergirl and over the years has rewritten the boundaries of lightness and innovation. The new edition embodies Zenith and Revolution’s shared passion for watches, a deep respect for heritage and a commitment to passing it on to the future. We would like to celebrate 20 amazing years of Revolution, 160 years of Zenith’s extraordinary history, and the many milestones that lie ahead.” Romain Marietta, Zenith Chief Product Officer Chronomaster Revival A3818 Cover Girl Carbon
