A3818 “COVER GIRL” In vintage collecting culture, the “Cover Girl” is a rare bird and possibly one of the single most sought-after and rarest Zenith chronographs on the market. With just 1,000 pieces believed to have been made, finding one in pristine condition isn’t an easy task. Eric Wind, Founder of “Wind Vintage,” explains tha many examples have polished cases which erase the sharp angular profile of the case. Others will have the metallic blue paint on the dial peeling off. It can be an attractive look, but usually you can bet that it isn’t. Finding one with an original Gay Frères ladder bracelet is also rare in itself, since this was an expensive add-on back in the day. The interest in Zenith Ref. A3818s is currently at an all-time high with prices often hanging around the USD20,000 mark, either at auctions or when changing hands between collectors, making the watch a truly prized and elusive beast. We at Revolution have been waiting patiently to unveil our own collaboration with Zenith and we wanted to satisfy the thirst from collectors for this beautiful timepiece. Please help us welcome the revival of the legendary 1970s Zenith Ref. A3818 “Cover Girl,” but with one huge difference compared to the original model: this time, the dial has been treated with luminous paint, even down to the 600 markers on the racing track, which, in combination with the luminous hand set — including those found in the subdials — means you can record elapsed time, down to 1/10th of a second at that, in low-light conditions. Now obviously because the racing track and dial text are smaller than the hour markers and hands you will notice a difference in glow between them, however this is definitely a cool touch for connoisseurs. Since we always strive to provide the best value possible to our readers, we couldn’t revive this watch without the ladder bracelet so you bet that it comes paired with the timepiece, and we are sure that Zenith enthusiasts will love this thoughtful touch. As an added bonus we are offering two additional straps — a brown calf leather strap and blue leather racing strap — which will allow owners to mix the style of their Zenith watch. We would like to thank the brand’s dynamic CEO Julien Tornare and its incredible product head Romain Marietta for this incredibly meaningful partnership. We would also like to thank Zenith for intentionally keeping the price of this timepiece accessible, even with the addition of the famous ladder bracelet, as a thank you to the Revolution and The Rake readership for their loyalty and passion. The Zenith x Revolution Chronomaster Revival A3818 “Cover Girl” is available on shop.revolution.watch for USD8,100 before taxes and shipping. For more information visit revolution.watch.
