Zenith PILOT TYPE 20 SILVER PRECIOUS METAL CHRONOGRAPH

The Zenith Preliminary Type 20 Silver Wathe upholds the Swiss carrier's reputation for making pilot timepieces. This latest model stocks some design elements using the Pilot Montre d'Aéronef Kind 20 released in 2012, however it comes with a chronograph, a silver precious metal case, and a more workable size.

Zenith, the Switzerland manufacturer founded in 1865, is often associated with the self-winding wathe movement El Primero. Released in 1969, this motion is often regarded as one of the best timepiece movements ever made. When it was launched, the fully integrated time counter with column wheel as well as transverse coupling stood out of the crowd, mainly because the balance steering wheel ran at a dizzying thirty six, 000 vph (5Hz). This particular exceptionally high frequency imparts outstanding precision. Interestingly, although 5 decades have passed since the Este Primero was first released, nothing else companies have been able to match up the movement's remarkable 5Hz frequency.

The problem with El nuevo Primero, however , is that it appears to overshadow many of the brand's some other accomplishments. Zenith has a happy history in making pilot wrist watches. Georges Favre-Jacot registered the actual "Pilot" trademark again within 1888 and again inside 1904. The name will put in a degree of legitimacy when the organization chooses to compete within the field years later. Upon July 25, 1909, France aviator Louis Blériot received a £1, 000 reward from the British newspaper The actual Daily Mail for bridging the English Channel throughout 37 minutes. Most notably, with regard to watch lovers, Blelio finished the aforementioned challenge wearing the Zenith watch on his hand.

Zenith continued to supply the particular Royal Flying Corps (at the time part of the British Army) with altimeters and stopwatches. In 1939, Zenith a new hand-wound aircraft clock, typically the Model 20 montre d'aéronef, widely used in French aeroplanes.
