Zenith Pilot

No watchmaker owns the word Pilot the way Zenith does: the manufacture trademarked the French Pilote in 1888 and the English Pilot in 1904, then built watches and dashboard instruments for aviation's pioneers, including Louis Blériot, first across the English Channel in 1909. It is the house's longest standing collection.

Redesigned from scratch at Watches and Wonders 2023, today's Pilot pairs oversized luminous numerals and a broad crown with modern cases in steel and ceramic, keeping instrument legibility at the centre of the design. Our range includes the Pilot Automatic, the Big Date Flyback and the ceramic editions.
