Jack Johnson's recent acquisition of the Zenith Pilot 5011k sparks a timely discussion on the wearability and unique characteristics of this significant timepiece. His initial impressions highlight the surprising comfort of its titanium case despite its substantial size, challenging common perceptions of large watches. Johnson's post also raises a critical question regarding the winding mechanism, inviting fellow collectors to share their experiences with this distinctive caliber.
A question to MTR (your nice posts were the last straw making me to pull the trigger
) and other owners - is it normal for this caliber that the winding is pretty stiff and requires a lot of force to turn the crown?

We are having an official Zenith event this weekend and you can guess who will steal the show
I can hear it ticking 😂
Readability on another level
It will definitely be one of the centerpieces in my collection. A grail achieved!
Yes, the movement is super-special and they do not make them like this any more. 50mm, double hairspring etc. etc.
Lool at the diameter of that balance wheel!!
