Attended Zenith's 2015 releases launch party and ended up buying my first Zenith - The Pilot Type 20 Extra Special Bronze. According to the manager, it's the first time Zenith use bronze for the casing and it's also the first one in HK's boutique. I wore my Pam 507 to the party and against the Pilot Bronze, it's such a beauty that I bought the Zenith without much hesitation....It has an in-house movement this time and reasonably priced....



Looks good @ 45mm



Lume shot




Side by side with Pam 507




May be one day it will start to turn patina....

and the same applies to your post - thus selected as 'Editor's Pick'. MARVELLOUS on your wrist, with quite a different tint than the Panerai. How old is that? Cheers and have a great weekend, Magnus

Zenith pilot bronze, I wonder how it has aged over the past one year. Any picture to share? Thanks.

I tend to get itchiness with my Panerai and as well as my GG gefica hence to avoid the contact with skin completely I opted for the special strap. Do post nice wrist shot and I will send you pics of the strap Best ,
