AN ICONIC WATCH FOR LEGENDARY MOTORBIKES
The motorcycle spirit is echoed in the ‘engine’ powering of the Heritage Pilot Ton-Up Edition watch.The world’s most accurate chronograph calibre developed by Zenith in 1969 – the automatic El Primero Calibre 4069 – beats inside the Heritage Pilot Ton-Up Editionat the impressive speed of 36,000 vibrations per hour, reliably powering a tenth of a second chronograph display. It also drives central hours and minutes hands as well as small seconds at 9 o’clock, while delivering an over 50-hour power reserve. Setting the final touch, an oily nubuck rubber-lined wristband, fitted with a titanium pin buckle, accentuates the authentic nature of this watch intended for fans of fine mechanics and wide-open spaces.
