Zenith has released a new aviation-inspired watch collection called the Pilot collection. The watch collection is made in the style of fighter pilots, combining classic and sporty themes into traditional Zenith watch designs. It consists of the Pilot Automatic, and Pilot Big Date Flyback watches.
The Pilot Automatic's design has a flat-top round bezel with a fixed 40 mm watch case. It also comes with a black dial constructed with horizontal grooves that appears similar to a vintage aircraft. The Pilot Automatic utilizes the EL Primero 3620 movement with 60 hours of power reserve. As for the Pilot Big Date Flyback, it contains a chronograph with El Primero 3652 automatic high-frequency caliber movement. It also has a lean 42.5 mm case size. There are two versions of this watch -- while one features an alternating hued-minute totalizer, the other has an achromatic colorway with luminescent white markers. The watch collection is available for purchase.
