Authentic Aviation Heritage in Living Bronze
The Iconic Legacy
Few watch manufacturers can claim a genuine connection to the birth of aviation quite like Zenith.
Founded in 1865, Zenith was producing precision instruments during the pioneering years of flight, supplying aviators with reliable timekeeping when navigation depended entirely on mechanical accuracy.
The Pilot Type 20 Extra Special pays tribute to that extraordinary heritage.
Inspired by the oversized pilot’s watches of the early twentieth century, every element has a purpose. The large onion crown, cathedral hands and oversized Arabic numerals all reflect the instruments worn by aviation pioneers during one of history’s greatest periods of exploration.
Adding to its authenticity, Zenith holds long-standing trademark rights to the word “Pilot” for watches in many jurisdictions, making it one of the very few manufacturers able to display the word legitimately on the dial itself. More importantly, it has earned that distinction through genuine aviation history rather than marketing.
Why You’ll Love It
Beautiful 45mm bronze case that develops its own unique patina over time
One of the few watches that genuinely celebrates aviation’s pioneering era
Oversized onion crown and cathedral hands inspired by historic pilot’s watches
In-house Zenith Elite automatic movement renowned for reliability and refinement
Complete set with every original accessory included
Presented in excellent condition throughout
A distinctive alternative to mainstream pilot’s watches
Outstanding value from one of Switzerland’s oldest and most respected manufactures
The bronze case is one of the defining features of this watch.
Unlike stainless steel, bronze is a living material that naturally develops its own rich patina through exposure to the environment. Every owner leaves their mark on the watch, meaning no two examples will ever age in exactly the same way.
That evolving character perfectly complements the spirit of early aviation. These were machines built to be used, to travel and to tell a story.
Inside, Zenith’s Elite Calibre 679 automatic movement delivers the same level of quality and refinement for which the manufacture has become famous, creating a watch that is every bit as impressive mechanically as it is visually.
At just £2,950, it represents exceptional value for a complete set from one of Switzerland’s great watch manufactures.
Iconic Status
The only pilot’s watch with the name to prove it.
Long before aviation became commercial, Zenith was producing precision timing instruments for pilots navigating the skies.
That heritage is reflected throughout the Pilot collection.
While countless brands produce pilot’s watches inspired by aviation history, Zenith occupies a unique position. Through long-held trademark rights, it is one of the very few manufacturers entitled to display the word “Pilot” on the dial itself in many parts of the world.
More importantly, the watch earns that privilege.
The Type 20 collection captures the romance of early aviation. A time when courage, innovation and exploration pushed humanity into the skies for the very first time. It is not simply a watch inspired by history. It is a continuation of it.
