Celebrating Pilot: Zenith Unveils Boutique-Exclusive Blue Dial Pilot Watches

Zenith's Pilot collection, revered for its blend of contemporary design and historical significance, now welcomes two boutique-exclusive models featuring stunning blue dials. These additions follow the successful launch of the updated Pilot collection last year, which included the Automatic and the Big Date Flyback Chronograph in stainless steel and ceramic.

Housed in a 40mm stainless steel case with a wide, flat, vertically brushed bezel and polished chamfers, this model is an epitome of elegance. It boasts an oversized crown adorned with the Zenith star and showcases a blue dial reminiscent of vintage aircraft fuselages with horizontal grooves.

Measuring 42.5mm, this model features the same captivating blue dial with horizontal grooves. It houses the El Primero 3652 caliber, renowned for its big date mechanism and flyback chronograph functionality, allowing for seamless time recording without stopping and restarting.

Both the Pilot Automatic and Big Date Flyback come with durable "Cordura" style rubber straps and an additional brown strap, adding versatility and style to these exquisite timepieces.

The new blue dial editions perfectly encapsulate the essence of a pilot's watch. The large cases with a fusion of brushed surfaces and chamfered edges, coupled with a contemporary take on old onion crowns, resonate with the spirit of aviation. The sans-serif font applied Arabic numerals and the Big Date display integrate seamlessly, enhancing readability and function.

With these new boutique-exclusive editions, Zenith reaffirms its dedication to expanding and refining its Pilot collection. The blue dial models represent a confident step forward, building upon the collection's legacy while introducing a fresh, contemporary aesthetic.
