Produced for a short window between 1955-1956 this Zenith Pilot was made utilising a shock protection system fitted around the movement, and used the caliber 126-5-6, a selling point for the Zenith Pilot range.
Produced around the same time as the Universal Geneve Polerouter and Rolex GMT for aviation.
The watch is large for the era, at around 35mm excluding crown and in wonderful original condition with a very beautiful two tone arabic luminous dial with contrasting pencil hands, quite and uncommon variation.
The case is in good condition with thick even lugs, and provides good wrist presence. Paired on a honey calf strap.
