Zenith and Porter Launch Two Limited Edition Khaki Ceramic Pilot Watches
Zenith has teamed up with Japanese bag brand Porter to create two khaki ceramic watches. The Pilot Automatic Porter Edition and the Pilot Big Date Flyback Porter Edition are each limited edition. Porter has also designed a matching bag to go with both watches. But what else do these two watches have to offer? In this article, we take a closer look at both watches.
The Zenith x Porter Pilot comes in two different sizes. The Pilot Automatic Porter Edition features a 40mm case, while the Pilot Big Date Flyback Porter Edition is slightly larger at 42.5mm. Both cases are made of khaki ceramic with a solid matte finish for a rugged look. Both buy replica watches feature an oversized crown in black PVD steel, a feature of the Zenith Pilot collection that features an angular design that is easy to operate even with gloves. In addition, the black PVD buttons and crown on the Pilot Big Date Flyback Porter Edition add to its beauty. With a water resistance rating of 10 bar, it provides adequate water protection. The scratch-resistant arched sapphire crystal mirror has anti-reflective coating on both sides to ensure clear visibility. The transparent sapphire crystal case back can show the complex internal mechanical structure, as well as the specially designed rotor that resembles an artificial horizon. This design choice reflects the aviation heritage of the Zenith Pilot series and adds extra detail to the watch. The engraved logo further emphasizes the cooperation between Zenith and Porter.
The dial of the Zenith x Porter Pilot watch features a textured groove design and khaki tones, echoing the corrugated metal sheet of the vintage aircraft fuselage. Both dials bear the logos of Zenith and Porter, highlighting the cooperation between the two parties. It is worth noting that the hour, minute, second and chronograph hands on the Pilot Big Date Flyback Porter Edition are painted in bright orange, which contrasts sharply with the dial. This choice not only enhances readability, but also references the orange interior of the Porter bag, inspired by the visibility of rescue jackets. The oversized Arabic numerals are in a stylish font and filled with white Super-LumiNova to ensure optimal readability in low-light conditions. The date window at 6 o'clock features a luminous hour marker, shaped like a flat white line, inspired by the artificial horizon instrument on an aircraft. The word "Pilot" engraved on the dial is a point of pride for Zenith, marking the brand's exclusive right to use this term, highlighting its historical significance in the field of aviation. replica Richard Mille RM 032 Diver
The Pilot Automatic Porter Edition is equipped with the El Primero 3620 movement, a high-frequency automatic movement known for its precision and reliability. Running at a frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour (5 Hz), this movement can smoothly move the second hand and improve timekeeping accuracy. The power reserve is approximately 60 hours, powered by a special black rotor that resembles the instrument dial of the artificial horizon. This movement can be seen through the transparent caseback, giving people a glimpse of its complex mechanical construction. The Pilot Big Date Flyback Porter Edition, on the other hand, is equipped with the El Primero 3652, a variant of the El Primero movement customized for the Pilot model. This movement features additional complications such as a flyback chronograph and a large date display at 6 o'clock. The flyback function allows for continuous timing without having to reset the chronograph, which is particularly useful for pilots. The 3652, like the 3620, operates at a frequency of 5 Hz and has a power reserve of 60 hours. The patented large date flex mechanism ensures that the date wheel jumps quickly and steadily. The rectangular PORTER logo on the sapphire crystal caseback highlights the collaboration between the two brands.
Both the Pilot Automatic Porter Edition and the Pilot Big Date Flyback Porter Edition are available with two strap options. One is a durable khaki nylon strap with orange Velcro elements and the iconic PORTER stitching logo. The second is a khaki rubber strap with a Cordura texture and a black PVD steel folding clasp. The quick-release system allows for easy, tool-free strap changes. This added versatility allows the wearer to switch between a sporty rubber strap and a more classic nylon strap, depending on their preference or occasion.
