ZENITH has rebooted its iconic PILOT collection, the Manufacture’s most long-standing line. The latest chapter sees the model entirely redesigned from scratch, foregoing the vintage aesthetic for something that draws inspiration from the entire span of aviation – past and present.

The new PILOT is imbued with all the essential features of durability, legibility and intuitiveness, respecting the codes of Pilot watches that ZENITH largely defined over a century ago with some of the earliest recorded aviator clocks and dashboard instruments, now revisited in a more contemporary context with some added ZENITH flair and understated nods to the world of aviation.

Within this first launch, the PILOT Big Date Flyback is delivered in ceramic. A completely modern take on the aviator’s chronograph, the watch integrates two new functions to the legendary El Primero calibre that are a perfect fit for the pilot or the pilot at heart: an instantaneous big date and the flyback function.
