I would have loved it if Zenith had updated this part of the bracelet as then it would have been perfect in my opinion. Zenith El Primero A384 Revival on its new ‘ladder’ bracelet They are not attractive and, more importantly, not comfortable. I might offend a purist of two, but clasps from 1969 fall into the shirts with ruffles and brown bell-bottom suit category. So far so good, but the clasp was also made as if it were still 1969, and that’s something I am less appreciative of. When Zenith decided to recreate the bracelet, it did the same as with the watch itself by very closely following the original design. Zenith had to recreate the bracelet itself as Gay Frères is no longer around as an independent company it was bought by Rolex in 1998 and then integrated into the crown’s operations. On the wrist, it amplifies the 1960s/1970s vibe of this El Primero. It is essentially your classic three-link bracelet design but with gaps in the middle, hence the “ladder” nickname. Zenith had this developed in the 1960s by renowned bracelet manufacturer Gay Frères. The added attraction of this El Primero A384 comes from its new, unique “ladder” bracelet. Legibility is no issue on this El Primero in fact, this watch might very well be the benchmark for it. It represents the pulse of the high-frequency watch and makes you forget that the rest is “just” black and white. It’s the only red thing on the entire watch (okay, except for the ruby bearing jewels in the movement), and that’s a stroke of genius. I love it that the chronograph second hand is big, bold, and red. Back of the Zenith El Primero A384 Revival
