Description

PILOT TYPE 20 SILVER Channelling the pioneering spirit of Zenith’s iconic Pilot collection as well as the Manufacture’s acclaimed history of onboard instruments, the back of the 45 mm-diameter Pilot Type 20 Silver is inscribed with the Zenith flying instruments logo. Water-resistant to 100 metres, the first ever silver case wristwatch from Zenith features the unmistakable wide ratcheted Pilot crown ensuring quick and easy adjustment, while the clearly legible brushed silver riveted dial bears the line’s emblematic outsize luminescent hands and hour-markers. The accuracy of these indications is ensured by an automatic Zenith Elite 679 calibre endowed with a generous 50-hour power reserve. Securing this rugged model securely to the wrist is a brown calfskin leather strap with a rivet and silver pin buckle, along with a distinctive tab recalling those featured on vintage pilot helmets.

Supplied by the brand to the GPHG for its entry.
