Zenith

Suddenly I had a desire and a taste for something completely different.

Watch by Zenith, Pilot, Montre d’Aéronef

This leviathan had been in the vault for a few years and now I have rediscovered it.

The 57 mm case size requires creative ideas when wearing it… 🙏

The historical 5011K movement is also really exciting. In 1967, this movement was considered the most accurate in the world and received over 300 awards and prizes.

Hagwe. Going big and bold😎 A pocket watch movement that won many chronometer awards. Sound choice.

This COSC-certified movement (tested by Neuchatel Observatory) existed in Zenith’s archives with only 250 pieces and had been specially incorporated into the Montre d’Aéronef Type 20 watch model. Cheers Thomas ...

Big and bold.

Brutality in a charming form…

By: MTR : November 10th, 2024-12:39

It’s also quite high… Thanks for looking, Bill ☺️ 🙏 ...

Wow that is a BIG watch!

Still smaller than a Egiziano (60mm).

By: MTR : November 10th, 2024-12:44

I always console myself with that. LOLLL

That does look like just the way to wear it 😊👍🏻🦾🛩️

The ONLY chance to wear it for a longer time! 😁

By: MTR : November 10th, 2024-12:40

...

Special indeed 👌🏻👍🏻🦾

Your wearing strategy makes sense… B-Uhr were meant to be worn outside a heavy flight jacket, so why not +++

Thanks a lot.

By: MTR : November 10th, 2024-12:42

This style is not … really … under the radar 🤣🤣 but it’s the only way to wear it comfortably. ...

Nice, glad to see you are gettin to wear it a while.

By: Thomas_3 : November 9th, 2024-21:44

Wow, 57mm would dwarf my B&R 123-92, which I think is big.

It’s out of this world.

By: MTR : November 10th, 2024-12:47

You have to be a hopeless WIS combined with a lot of humor to wear it like a „normal“ watch. And you have to photograph this watch at a certain angle. Then it won't look so bad. Yes: No: 😂 ...

This Special couldn't get a better name.

You also have to have a very special…

By: MTR : November 10th, 2024-12:52

…attitude … to wear this watch. You just have to not care about anything. Have a nice Sunday, mon ami. P.S.: I have to say that yesterday a few people approached me on the street, but always positively and very curious about what kind of watch it is.

Which is a good attitude. ;)

I learned quite early in my life: you can do whatever you want, but you will never be able to control what others think or believe about you. Therefore, it is best to be at peace with yourself and act according to your own convictions.

That is a pilot watch! Love it.

I like your style of wearing it, and the boldness of this piece 💪🏽

The opposite of what is now modern again. The brutal antithesis to the trend towards smaller watches. Hahahaha 😁 ...
