As a woman, I love Zenith watches
They seem to pay a lot of attention to little details that promote female inclusion in serious watchmaking. And this is true for this watch as well. I thought it was interesting that the case is polished but the lugs are not. Perhaps to not contend with the sparkle of the diamonds and also to retain a modern look to the watch. Thank for the great review!
Zenith Coffee House Tales (vi): Who said all pilots are male?
It is summer, the time of vacations, and thus Miss R and myself decided to make this a very light topic (perhaps in contrast to our previous instalment ) - Miss R brought along her personal summer watch, the Zenith Pilot Type 20 Lady , a 40mm watch delica...
Very nice. I could definitely see getting my wife one of these..
...especially since it passes her first criterion: diamonds (!). Great pics and presentation. Thank you. Cheers, John
I think I have been there before...
.. perhaps long time ago, but looks somewhat familiar.... Well, lady's version of the pilot watch is challenging - size wise. But I am sure there are plenty of adventurous ladies out there who would be attracted by Zenith pilot watch. Nice series, Magnus!...
I am not very keen on the diamonds on such a watch.
Remove them, and yes, I quite well see my wife with it on the wrist... Therefore, without diamonds, it will allow me to save a bit more for my horological purchases! :) Best, Nicolas
See below for similar conclusion as you
I agree with you and thank goodness, so does the current Mrs MTF. She keeps watches and diamonds separate. On the other hand, every now and then, a brand comes up with spectacular watches with diamonds and only a picture can demonstrate: ;) ...
That is a great looking piece! :)
I guess that with a size of 40 mm, it could attract both male (who like stones) and females (I still have to meet one who doesn't like stones ;))! The onion crown looks really good together with the stone settings! Hopefully, my GF will not read this post...
Grafting feminine touches . . .
. . . onto a masculine design must be a challenge, Magnus, especially for such an idiosyncratic model as the Type 20. It's difficult to think of any manufacturer that pulls off the feat neatly with regularity; Panerai is the only one that comes readily to...
I personally do not like the diamonds... but my wife sure does!
And this lovely pilot watch is for ladies and not me so Zenith definitely got it right! I have told Kong and Blomman before for ladies Chopard and GP with diamonds... everytime I show Mrs Wong the pics, I get into serious trouble.... Thanks Magnus for the...
Zenith Pilot Type 20 Lady is Timeless
Magnus, This style of watch is a classic whether it is intended for male or female. Many Pilots' watches of that flight era have the attractive onion crown and cathedral hands. Some even have the coin-edge bezel markings that makes up the Desired Trinity....
