Zenith got most of the details right, though the watch has a modern presence with a solid construction and neater finishing. The 37 mm case of the A385 is practically identical to the original, right down to the radial brushed finish on the front. Zenith has become proficient in faithful vintage remakes, partly by relying on technical drawings for the vintage originals.

Not only does the bracelet replicate the look, it is also lightweight and slightly dinky, as the original was. And for an additional US$500 you get a steel bracelet modelled on the vintage “ladder” bracelet made by Gay Frères that is synonymous with the vintage El Primero. Starting at US$7,700 for the version on a strap, the A385 is in line with Zenith’s other El Primero chronographs, which are honestly-priced in the first place.

In general, having your watch checked regularly by your Personal Jeweler or watchmaker and serviced according to the manufacturer's guidelines should keep it in excellent shape.The remake has a graduated, coffee-coloured dial with a deliciously warm character Attempts by an untrained repair person may seriously damage the watch and can even invalidate factory warranties. Watches are super complex little machines and only an expert watchmaker should be trusted to get a watch back into working condition. Our best advice on watch maintenance is to never attempt do-it-yourself repairs, no matter how handy you are or how good the instructions are on Youtube.

Also, while many watches are water resistant, few are truly waterproof, so if you find that moisture or dust has penetrated the case of your watch, bring it into your local Ben Bridge store where we can have one of our watchmakers clean it out for you. Give your watch a quick check on a regular basis, wiping down the face and bracelet with a soft cloth, checking the leather on a strap, and making sure that the strap or bracelet is firmly attached to the watch face.
