Zenith began producing pilot’s watches at the beginning of the twentieth century. When Louis Blériot, a French aviation-pioneer, became the first pilot to hover across the English Channel in 1909, he had on his wrist a Zenith pilot’s watch, embarking the manufacturer’s century-long history as a leader of aviation timepieces.

For the present example, Zenith imbibed the earliest style of pilot's and military watch and reinvented it for a wondrously modern timepiece. With luminous Arabic numerals in a stylish Art Deco font as well as the bronzed lettering “Extra Special” above 6 o’clock, the dial amply embodies a simple yet classic design that is complemented by the tan warm hue of the case. The case is further equipped with features of a traditional pilot’s watch, with a large onion-shaped screw-down crown and wide welded lugs. The crisp and mint case back, engraved with Zenith flying instruments logo, further conveys a sense of unmissable military chic.

Zenith

Swiss | 1865

Since Zenith's beginnings, founder George Favre-Jacot sought to manufacture precision timepieces, realizing quality control was best maintained when production was housed under one roof. Zenith remains one of the few Swiss manufacturers to produce their own in-house movements to this day.



Today, the brand is best known for the "El Primero," the firm's most successful automatic chronograph movement. In an interesting twist of fate, the company that owned Zenith during the 1970s decided to move on to quartz movements and therefore sought to destroy the parts and tools necessary to make mechanical movements. One watchmaker realized this folly and hid the tools and parts before they were destroyed. In 1984, he returned them to Zenith so they could once again make the El Primero movement.
