Zenith, the Swiss manufacturer founded in 1865, is often associated with the self-winding chronograph movement El Primero. Introduced in 1969, this movement is often regarded as one of the best chronograph movements ever made. When it was released, the fully integrated chronograph with column wheel and transverse coupling stood out from the crowd, mainly because the balance wheel ran at a dizzying 36,000 vph (5Hz). This exceptionally high frequency imparts exceptional precision. Interestingly, although 50 years have passed since the El Primero was first released, few other companies have been able to match the movement's remarkable 5Hz frequency.

The problem with El Primero, however, is that it seems to overshadow many of the brand's other accomplishments. Zenith has a proud history in making pilot watches. Georges Favre-Jacot registered the "Pilot" trademark again in 1888 and again in 1904. The name will add a degree of legitimacy when the company chooses to compete in the field years later. On July 25, 1909, French aviator Louis Blériot won a £1,000 prize from the British newspaper The Daily Mail for crossing the English Channel in 37 minutes. Most notably, for watch lovers, Blelio completed the aforementioned challenge wearing a Zenith replica watches review on his wrist.

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

All examples of Zenith pilot watches and aircraft clocks feature "cathedral" hands and plump Arabic numerals depicting the hours. However, that tradition changed in the 1960s, when the Swiss company supplied pilot chronographs to Italian retailer A. Cairelli, which in turn supplied the Italian military.

At Baselworld 2012, Zenith introduced a behemoth, the Pilot Montre d'Aéronef Type 20. The model is 57.5mm in diameter and replicates many of the design elements found on the company's earlier pilot's watches, including timepieces cherished by Blériot. Plump numerals, cathedral hands and an onion-shaped crown infuse this discount replica watches with a charming nostalgia.

In the years that followed, case sizes were reduced, new complications were released, and alternative case materials including bronze were introduced.

Recently, the Swiss company launched a new pilot watch, the Zenith Pilot Type 20 Silver Chronograph. Featuring a 45mm case, this watch is made of sterling silver, which is more durable than its 2012 predecessor. The dual-composite dial features a brushed riveted design that resembles the fuselage of an airplane of yesteryear. This model is limited to 250 pieces and bears the Zenith flight instrument logo. Oh, what about sports you might ask? Well, its El Primero 4069 automatic movement, always eager to be in the limelight.replica Breitling watches

Revisiting its iconic and time-honored aviator aesthetic while taking inspiration from vintage aircraft designs, Zenith presents the Pilot 20 Chronograph Silver, a striking and richly detailed aviation-themed chronograph in Crafted in precious sterling silver, this is a first for a Zenith pilot chronograph.

The limited edition Pilot Type 20 Chronograph Silver recalls Zenith’s unique pedigree in aviation timepieces, spanning over a century, with early 20th century aviation pioneers, notably Louis Bleriot and His History - Crossing the English Channel in 1909. The 45mm case is made of sterling silver, taking more immediate visual inspiration from historic aircraft. Like the fuselage of an airplane, the rivet details on the silver dial resemble metal panels, and the erratic brushed surface brings out the raw beauty of the metal. For maximum legibility at all times, the iconic aviator oversized Arabic hour markers and "cathedral" hands are painted with white luminous paint.fake luxury quartz watches
