Zenith Chronomaster Revival Lupin The Third
The third and final edition of Zenith’s collaboration with Japanese manga and anime series Lupin the Third is a stunning combination of the watchmaker’s two previous special editions. It features a dial split quite divisively in the middle, where on the left there is a semi-glossy black dial with counters and golden markers and hands from the first edition, and on the right it has a creamy-white dial with contrasting black counters inspired by the second edition. Definitely one for the ages.
