Zenith

The evening supported the world-class Oregon Military Museum’s mission to honor the service, commitment, and history made by Oregon's service men and women. The Oregon Military Museum, currently under construction, was named after one of Oregon’s greatest war heroes, Brigadier General James B. Thayer.

Thayer’s famous son, Tommy Thayer of KISS, partnered with Zenith to make the museum a reality and honor his father’s commitment and service. During the evening, Zenith took the opportunity to present Brigadier General James B. Thayer, a longtime fan of the brand, with a limited edition Pilot Type 20 Extra Special in Rose Gold – one of two units produced in a limited run.

The second timepiece was placed in the evening’s luxury auction to support fundraising efforts. The Pilot Type 20 Extra Special in Rose Gold features a titanium case, brown alligator leather strap and engraved caseback paying tribute to the museum and one of Oregon’s most decorated war heroes.

In a surprising turn of events, Zenith announced the limited edition of 25 pieces, a capsule collection in Bronze with a portion of proceeds to benefit the museum. The Pilot Type 20 Extra Special in Bronze offers a vintage-feel with a titanium engraved caseback and calfskin leather strap.
