The New Zenith Pilot Type 20 Revives an Aviation Legend

　　Powerful, precious and pure,Zenithadds a new masterpiece: the Pilot Type 20 Louis Blériot Tribute watch. Possessing an innate noble heritage, it combines all the qualities of the manufacture's legendary timepieces: a high-precision movement, a robust case diameter, a large fluted screw-in crown, and oversized Arabic numeral hour markers that complement the exquisitely styled hands. The dial is sliced from an extraterrestrial meteorite and houses the famous 5011K pocket watch movement, perfectly recreating Zenith's proud history of conquering the skies. Limited to just 5 pieces, it is both precious and elegant. To pay tribute to Louis Blériot, the father of aviation who achieved the feat of crossing the English Channel in 1909, the Zenith manufacture has launched this unique meteorite dial watch, adorned with a portrait of this legendary figure. Let us now appreciate this timepiece together.

　　Introduction to the Zenith Pilot Type 20

　　This watch features a generous 60 mm case diameter, carved from a single block of sapphire crystal, paired with a crystal, lugs, and a large white gold fluted crown, showcasing extraordinary quality. The first thing that catches the eye is its deep grey meteorite dial, where the natural texture blends perfectly with the fine band decoration. This meteorite originates from a fragment of the Muonionalusta asteroid, which crossed the atmosphere and landed in an area 140 km from the Arctic Circle, between Sweden and Finland.

　　The sapphire crystal case perfectly recreates the masculine lines and unique shape of the Pilot series, making it a true masterpiece of engraving. Inside, it houses a fully hand-engraved 5011K movement. Upon its release, this vintage calibre broke all precision records for movements of its class. In 1967, the Neuchâtel Observatory awarded it the Chronometry Prize in recognition of its unprecedented timekeeping accuracy. Since then, this mechanical movement has become an industry classic, performing brilliantly in marine chronometers and pocket watches.

　　Zenith found several original vintage Calibre 5011K movements in the manufacture's archives, which the artisans have restored and decorated, allowing them to shine once again in the globally limited Pilot Type 20 watch. The transparent case back of the watch fully displays the stunningly beautiful engraving of the 5011K movement, which commemorates the incredible feat accomplished by Louis Blériot across the English Channel in 1909, accompanied by a Zenith watch.
