A standout piece from Zenith's storied aviation heritage, the Type 20 Extra Special Bronze represents the brand's deep connection to pilot watches dating back over a century. When French aviator Louis Blériot became the first man to fly across the English Channel in 1909, he had on his wrist a Zenith pilot's watch, beginning the brand's long history as a maker of aviation timepieces.

The bronze case version was unveiled in 2015 as part of Zenith's Type 20 collection expansion, offering collectors a unique material that develops character over time. The 40mm diameter provides the perfect balance - substantial enough to capture that authentic pilot watch presence with oversized numerals and crown, yet refined enough for daily wear.

The bronze case construction adds an interactive element to ownership - you control the patina development. Accept natural aging for vintage character, or restore the original golden tone with simple lemon juice treatment. 

This uncommon reference captures pure pilot watch DNA in a highly wearable size, representing Zenith's aviation legacy in living bronze that evolves with you.
