The Zenith Pilot Type 20 Tribute to Louis Blériot features a meteorite dial and a wonderful Cal. 5011 pocket watch movement entirely hand-engraved with motifs celebrating Luois Blériot's pioneering landmark exploit in aviation, his journey across the English Channel. The case is a 60mm full sapphire case with white gold bezel, lugs and crown.
The Pilot Type 20 Skeleton showcases a Cal. 5011 version with over 200h of hand-skeletonisation applied. A sapphire disk with transferred arabic numerals as well as power reserve and seconds scale. The case is again crafted from 60mm sapphire, but this time with a blue enamelled white gold bezel, entirely hand-engraved. Lugs and crown are also made from white gold, with the former hand engraved.
