Zenith unveils Heritage Pilot Ton-Up to mark Andorra 500
Luxury watch brand Zenith launches a new watch to celebrate its partnership with Andorra 500 and to mark the second edition of the spectacular motorcycle event
The second edition of the thrilling motorcycle event that takes its participants through two different countries took place in Andorra in June 2016. After three days of competition under the bright sun of Andorra, the race was over with Andrea Peterhansel winning the rally.
Covering spectacular mountain routes leading through magnificent landscapes, the rally enabled participants, guided by a digital roadbook, to explore two different countries and cultures, while maintaining its symbolic 500 km of riding in a unique environment.
Several friends of the brand, such as Mark Hawwa, founder of the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, along with Dimitri Coste and Stephen Peterhansel,joined the Zenith-Andorra 500 team to ride the route on their motorcycles.
The world’s most accurate chronograph calibre developed by Zenith in 1969 – the automatic El Primero Calibre 4069 – beats inside the Heritage Pilot Ton-Up Edition at the impressive speed of 36,000 vibrations per hour, reliably powering a tenth of a second chronograph display. It also drives central hours and minutes hands as well as small seconds at 9 o’clock, while delivering an over 50-hour power reserve. Setting the final touch, an oily nubuck rubber-lined wristband, fitted with a titanium pin buckle, accentuates the authentic nature of this watch intended for fans of fine mechanics and wide-open spaces.
