It is presented in a special case with a counter-box decorated with a mosaic of images from the series. As the model did not exist, the Manufacture decided to mark the 50th anniversary of the El Primero caliber by bringing it to life in the form of a 50-piece limited edition called the A384 Revival Lupin the Third Edition. In the first episode of Rupan Sansei, Lupin’s partner Daisuke Jigen wears a Zenith watch. An animated series that began to be broadcast in 1971 allowed the fictional character to meet an international audience.
FROM FICTION TO REALITY Only available in Japan, this limited series bears the features of the first automatic chronograph and brings to life the watch of imaginary character Rupan Sansei.Ī Japanese version of Arsène Lupin in a soap opera manga, Lupin the Third, takes up the myth of the French gentleman burglar from 1967 under the pen name Monkey Punch (1937-2019).
