To commemorate the grand opening of the Zenith Boutique Ginza in October 2020, Swiss luxury brand Zenith will be releasing its second collaboration model with Lupin the Third's main character, Daisuke Jigen, the Chronomaster Revival Lupin the Third - Second Edition, in a limited edition of 200 pieces worldwide, from mid-October.


In 2019, Zenith released the "El Primero A384 Revival Lupin the Third Edition," a faithful reproduction of the "El Primero A384" worn by Daisuke Jigen in the first episode of the TV anime "Lupin the Third Season 1," "Is Lupin Burning...?!". The watch was one of the models commemorating the 50th anniversary of the birth of the "El Primero" movement and was limited to 50 pieces in Japan. As Zenith's first limited edition product in collaboration with an anime character, it received a huge response and sold out in the same day. Unlike the first release, the second release in 2020 recreates the bracelet worn by Daisuke Jigen at the beginning of the final episode of the first season of "Lupin the Third," "The Golden Gamble!" It's a little-known fact in the long history of Lupin the Third that Jigen wore two different Zenith watches. In Japan, the watch will be available at the Zenith Boutique Ginza, Zenith Boutique Osaka, the Zenith Shop at Daimaru Tokyo, and major Zenith authorized dealers nationwide. This second model, too, recreates the watch depicted in the anime through reverse engineering. It features a unique 37mm stainless steel case and the high-beat automatic manufacture movement "El Primero." It also comes standard with a reproduction of the Gay Frère ladder bracelet used at the time.
