ZENITH – Pilot Type 20 Grand Feu

We love all a great story which blends watch heritage and artisan legacy. Well I do anyway. The Type 20 Grand Feu tells the story of a movement, a manual wind 5011K calibre, found buried deep in the Zenith’s archives. It was restored to its former glory, engraved and chiselled by hand to form precious silver curls. Only 10 were ever made each housed in a stunning 60mm sapphire case with a large sculpted protruding crown. Its dial rimmed with a slim minute track is made entirely of Grand Feu enamel: white on the dial and black on the Arabic hour numerals tracked by two skeleton blue steel hands. Two counters with small blue hands adorn the enamel dial: the power reserve indicator at 3 o’ clock (up to 48 hours) and the small seconds counter at 9 o’ clock. Price: 150,000 CHF
