This ZENITH Watch Does What No Other Pilot Watch Can do!

The new Pilot collection consists of four watches, and two complications. A pair of steel references and their black ceramic counterparts, featuring time and date models, and flyback chronographs with a big date display. They feel decidedly different from the throwbacks and reissues we’ve been accustomed to seeing from Zenith Pilot watches in generations past, and that’s a very good thing. These are modern Pilot watches that feel, well, like normal everyday wearable watches. There is no novelty factor here.

Zenith always makes some lovely modern designs unlike most derivative manufacturers

When the Pilot name was registered I believe the reference was to harbour pilots who needed accurate robust time keepers .

It looks really good in person. They've had some really great case designs in recent years, and their movements were already nice.

Had my ceramic model for 3 months now. It is fantastic.

I didn't really get these at first but the more I look at them the more I like them. Particularly that flyback chrono in ceramic.

Nice video and I agree with you that this watch does have serious field watch vibes. The only feature that looks "piloty" are those hands and they are simple swords. Are all sword hands pilot hands? I don't think so. And I also share your view of IWC also, I've got a mechaquartz I've used as a field watch for 20 years. I just wish IWC would re-issue their Dirty Dozen version! All the best.

Before i saw it in person i didn't really understand how awesome it is.

I am neutral on the watch. I think the best aspects are the hands and arabic numerals. I think you can do better price wise with other brands, Sinn comes to mind for a similar or better look.

@Dferd777 4 ай бұрын

I had a similar complaint about the clasp as you. I contacted Zenith and they sent two new clasps that are updated to bridge that gap you discussed. I just needed to verify my purchase.

Nice watch reminds me alot of the Bremont Broadsword.

I find the horizontal lines distracting, not what you want in a pilot watch but maybe it’s just the lighting.

@waterfordrs22 9 ай бұрын

How many pilots today rely on their watches for anything at all? Look at a Navitiner’s busy dial that’s about as distracting as it gets. That’s a legible watch, particularly after the novelty has worn off, asat.

I really like the design, but it is a bit thicker than it needs to be. I mean, my Zenith Chronomaster is only 13.0 mm thick and it is a chronograph!

@khronokraze 9 ай бұрын

Thanks for the presentation. For me, I'm just not into the horizontal lines on the dial. And, curious about the use of the word "Pilot". I just acquired a limited edition Longines Pilot Watch and it says "Pilot Watch" on the case back. Now, does the restricted use of "Pilot" only for Zenith apply only to the front of a watch? Or, should it apply anywhere on a watch?

@ThiagoAgueroFin 9 ай бұрын

Yes, only Zenith can use word ”Pilot” on the dial. Pilot watch is generic term to use on case back, not breaking Zenith’s copyright.

Any idea how the dial is made? For the price point is it a milled process? I think it looks like a face with large features. Handsome...maybe....but not beautiful.

I reallllllly dont like the raised vertical bars on the dial. Just so distracting in a bad way.

@danthunderbolton4350 9 ай бұрын

IWCs are far from perfect pilots but they are much better looking in this category. Still find them too expensive for the product they sell, but I will choose them before this Zenith. This Zenith reminds me watches from Victorinox and Hamilton, it looks cool but not enough to pay 7.500$ for it.

@hunderskunder2596 9 ай бұрын

absurd price for a rather uninteresting watch

@samstraughan9054 9 ай бұрын

A rare 'swing and a miss' by Zenith. Too thick...floating hands', distracting second hand, the dot over I....sort of over thought, over designed in my opinion.
