A masterly Blueprint from Zenith

Inspired by the blueprint of its historical building and of the Aeronefs, the earliest aircrafts conceived by the pioneers of flight, Zenith reveals the unseen schematics of its dials in a special rendition of the Pilot Type 20, the “Blueprint”. The dial is created in two parts: a matte blue base with all technical plans and notes used by the dial-maker, and above it a sapphire crystal and a sapphire crystal layer with the usual markers and logo. Limited to 250 pieces, the watch features the typical Pilot details, such as the oversized steel case, finished with a mix of polished and satin-brushed surfaces, and the signature oversized “onion” shaped crown that allows the time to be adjusted even while wearing flight gloves. The side of the case features a screwed plaque bearing the unique limited-edition number of the watch. Powering this wearable flight instrument is the Elite manufacture automatic movement, providing an autonomy of 50 hours.
