The new Zenith Pilot signals a complete collection revamp
Time+Tide WatchesDec 12, 2023
Did you know that Zenith is actually the only watch brand in the world that’s allowed to put the word “Pilot” on their dials? It’s because back in 1888 - a whole 15 years before the Wright Brothers made their first flight - Zenith filed their first copyright on the word. Zenith founder Georges Favre-Jacot was one of the first watchmakers to identify the importance of timekeeping for pilots in the early, formative days of aviation, and fittingly, Zenith was also one of the first watch brands to produce a pilot’s watch. These days, Zenith might be better known for their high-beat chronograph movements and high-tech skeletonised creations – like the Time+Tide Defy Skyline Skeleton Night Surfer El Primero, for example - but they still make some fantastic Pilot’s watches. For 2023, Zenith has completely revamped their Pilot collection, introducing a far more modern case and dial design that nevertheless still pays homage to the history of flight and pilot’s watches.
