As the first limited edition style of the Pilot series, Zenith adopts the iconic deep blue color. The Pilot Automatic features a 40mm stainless steel case, with a unique flat round bezel fixed on top of the round case, vertically satin-brushed and polished beveled edges. The oversized crown has sharp angles on the exterior, while retaining its easy-to-use characteristics.
As for the Pilot Big Date Flyback, it features an oversized date display that is not only easy to read but also equipped with a next-generation patented flexible mechanism that can simultaneously advance and stabilize the two wheels displaying the large date in less than 0.03 seconds. Among the two Pilot watches, the latter is larger in size and has more functions, interpreting the latest generation El Primero high-frequency automatic chronograph movement with outstanding aviation style.
Zenith has launched its first “ICONS: PILOT” series to fully showcase the pilot’s watch and watchmaking tradition, including valuable antique Zenith Pilot chronograph watches from the second half of the 20th century. Currently, most of the selected works in the Zenith Icons classic series are focused on the early El Primero watches that shaped the contemporary Chronomaster series. The series includes three antique Pilot chronograph watches from the late 1960s and 1970s, restored and certified by the brand’s heritage department, to explore the professional and consumer aspects of watches from that era. These 3 Pilot chronograph watches embody pure practicality, imagination, and forward-thinking.
