Zenith Pilot

Pilot is the aviation line from the Swiss brand Zenith. In 2012 Zenith released the Pilot Type 20, inspired by military pilots' watches of the 1930s, and in 2023 it completely renewed the line, giving the new generation of Pilot a modern urban style. To choose a model, start with the generation.

The Pilot Type 20 has a vintage look: a large case with straight lugs and a big onion-shaped crown. The line is represented by the men's Pilot Type 20 Extra Special in a bronze case with a black dial and in steel with a red dial, both on leather straps.

The new generation has a case in stainless steel or black ceramic and a dial with horizontal grooves reminiscent of fuselage panels. It comprises two models: the three-hand Pilot Automatic with date, and the Pilot Big Date Flyback chronograph with big date and flyback function, which resets and restarts the timing with a single press of the pusher.

Each listing gives the reference, calibre and case size.
