PILOT COLLECTION
A LINEAGE DESTINED TO SOAR

Drawing inspiration from the onboard instruments that Zenith produced in the early days of aeronautics, the Pilot collection is a worthy heir to the years of airborne conquest and the iconic models that accompanied these fabled adventures. Intended for devotees of aviation and its history, for those with a passion for mechanics and a penchant for far-flung horizons, the Pilot line symbolises discovery, exploration, as well as a taste for adventure and challenges.

Zenith played a pioneering role in equipping the planes and dirigibles of aviation pioneers in the early 20 th century, such as Louis Blériot who flew over the Channel in 1909 with his Zenith firmly strapped to his wrist; or Léon Morane who one year later became the first pilot ever to exceed the speed of 100 km/h. The Manufacture subsequently became one of the first manufacturers of aircraft altimeters and montres d’aéronef (aircraft watches), supplied to the military as well as to civilian airline companies.

Acknowledged by aeronautical professionals for its reliability, robustness and precision, the famous Zenith Type 20 found its place on the instrument panels of a number of aircraft from 1939 onwards. These timepieces specially developed for aviation had to withstand extreme conditions of use and provide impeccable legibility.

A broad matt black dial enabled pilots to wind and set their watches without removing their gloves. Embodying these glorious years and countless feats, the three new models in the Pilot collection all feature the distinctive attributes of these legendary watches.
