Zenith Pilot Type 20 Extra Special Bronze
« on: February 27, 2016, 08:21:31 AM »
Hey guys,

What is your opinions / thoughts regarding this zenith bronze pilot ? I really like its vintage pilot feel with clean dial . Cant resist its poison anymore and very tempting to pull the final trigger...

Pics are borrowed from internet :

Have not seen this piece in person, but the pictures sure looked great! Looks like a no-brainer of a buy- rich heritage, great bronze case, and awesome wrist presence!  :thumbsup:

feedback after 3 days of regular usage :

1. Zenith in-house movement Elite 679 is quite accurate at this moment , average + 1 sec per day .  ;D

2. Patina is slowly building up at bronze case and see obvious changes if compared with day1   :Cheers:
