ZENITH PILOT BOUTIQUE EDITIONS: TWO NEW MODELS, ONE SHADE OF BLUE

Posted by lifata on January 23rd, 2024

The Le Locle house continues to redefine its heritage with the launch of two boutique editions of its new Pilot collection: the Pilot Automatic Boutique Edition and the Pilot Big Date Flyback Boutique Edition. This range, designed from scratch and unveiled at Watches & Wonders 2023, pays homage to the brand's aeronautical history by echoing the richness of the Pilot models from the 1960s and 1970s.

Both models share the sporty yet elegant design unveiled in 2023, while reflecting Zenith’s mastery of aviation fake watches uk. An art that she has been refining since 1904, when she registered the names “Pilot” and “Pilote” which she is the only one able to use on her dials ever since. These new blue dials are punctuated by large applied photoluminescent indexes with a white line at 6 o'clock in a nod to the artificial horizon found in aircraft cockpits, while the wavy texture of the dial background makes echoing the fuselages of the first planes. On the case back side, we obviously find sapphire crystals revealing the movements subtly decorated with a skeletonized mass inspired by the famous artificial horizon. Both watches are mounted on interchangeable Cordura-effect rubber straps and then delivered with brown leathers to offer more versatility.

Let's start with the first watch, the simplest, the Pilot Automatic Boutique Edition. It has a 40mm wide stainless steel case adorned with a flat and wide bezel, and a finish alternating between brushing and polishing, with an appreciable water resistance of 100 meters. The dark blue dial reminiscent of the night sky, Zenith's signature with its brightest star as its only reference, features horizontal grooves and large Arabic numerals for optimal readability. Powered by the El Primero 3620 automatic movement, this replica watch uk clocked at 36,000 A/h (5Hz) offers a power reserve of 60 hours.

Larger, with a diameter of 42.5 mm, the Pilot Big Date Flyback Boutique Edition stands out with its presence and its rectangular chronograph pushers. It is equipped with the El Primero 3652 caliber equipped with a column wheel chronograph with flyback function, as well as a large date at 6 o'clock with the characteristic of advancing and stabilizing its discs in just 0.03 seconds. In other words, it's instantaneous. Its blue dial has an arrangement of two counters (30-minute totalizer and remote seconds), in keeping with its inspiration from the past.

They embody the brand's vision: to create timepieces that combine heritage and technical innovation, always with the excellence that has made the Swiss house's reputation since 1865. These new Zenith replica Pilot Boutique Editions are more than just watches: they are a tribute to the brand's aeronautical past and an invitation to explore new horizons in the world of high frequency!
