A limited edition of 250 pieces, the Pilot Type 20 Chronograph Silver recalls Zenith’s unique pedigree in the
world of aviation timepieces spanning over a century, having accompanied the pioneers of flight in the early
20th century, most notably with Louis Bleriot and his history-making voyage across the English Channel in 1909.
With a more direct visual inspiration from historical aircrafts, the 45mm case is made from sterling silver. Like
the fuselage of an aircraft, the silver dial features riveted details resembling metal panels, with an erratic satinbrushed
surface to bring out the raw beauty of the metal. For maximum legibility at all times, the signature Pilot
oversized Arabic hour-markers and “cathedral” hands feature white luminescent paint. Completing the aviator
look is the brown calfskin leather strap with a rivet and silver pin buckle with a distinctive tab, recalling vintage
pilot helmets.
