Hi - Received my first ever Zenith today - have been eyeing the Extra Special bronze for some time. Absolutely love it. I know the bronze will patina and discolor over time, but I have a question: on my case where the lugs attach (and on the lugs themselv...
Curious as to whether the dark discoloration around the case/lug area is normal. Again, I understand the bronze will discolor over time, but just wanted to check on the discoloration I'm seeing. I haven't seen this level of discoloration on other Extra Sp...
first, a very warm welcome here; second, congratulations to your new Zenith Extra Special Bronze - it is one of the highlights of all watches presented last year, and this not only for me. As to the discolouration around the lugs. Now, the case is pre-pat...

this is one of the best looking pilot watches around. The black patina you have around the lugs is very normal. I've seen some new pieces similar to yours. That piece will look fabulous in a couple years. Wear it in the best of health. Here's one photo I ...
I've had the watch for 2.5 days and I set it to the atomic time clock when I received it…Amazingly, it is still spot-on! I know 2 days does not a test make; however, I'm (pleasantly) surprised!
