Baselworld 2014: Pilot Type 20 Grand Feu

Baselworld 2014: Pilot Type 20 Grand Feu

TRANSPARENCY PREMIERE UNIVERSE LEGEND LIMITATION

This natural-born model combines a heritage solidly rooted in the history of aviation with self-evident creative daring and the best of traditional expertise. Carved out of sapphire – a first for a 60 mm-diameter case – and housing a legendary historical movement entirely chased and engraved by hand, it is enhanced by an exceptional grand feu enamel dial. The latest Zenith pilot’s watch is thus solidly equipped to find its place in the legend.

Fascinating in all respects, this model will be issued in a strictly limited 10-piece edition.

The new Pilot Type 20 Grand Feu is equipped with this historic original movement. The case middle and the transparent case-back afford ample views of this mechanical hand-wound 5011K movement. Its 60 mm diameter provides scope for exceptional finishing.

Entirely hand-engraved and chased by remarkable artisans, the sides and back of the movement – as well as the gold lugs and bezel – are adorned over their whole surface with intricate scrolled and garland-like motifs reflecting the spirit of traditional Fine Watchmaking. A miniature work of art displaying breathtaking finishes!
