Not sure how it’s a knock off, given that Zenith introduced the Type 20 Pilot 40mm at Baselworld 2013.

Sorry, I wasn’t aware that Patek have exclusive rights to the colour blue – duly noted, Karl.
My opinion isn’t an opinion, it’s a statement of fact. Zenith introduced the Extra Special Type 20 Pilot version at Baselworld 2014, which brought with it a central seconds hand and an ETA 2892 movement. The bronze version in 2015 saw the movement revert ...
I vote...
For a matte moss green dial version.... or a matte deep beige nearly taupe dial version... both would be in spirit of the brown vintage leather jacket and khaki clad desert pilot... but ideally not too many versions please!
