Zenith’s new Pilot Type 20 Chronograph Rescue Zenith’s new Pilot Type 20 Rescue is offered in a stainless steel case with a slate-grey sunray dial, with the Arabic numerals entirely made out of SuperLuminova. PILOT’S WATCHES Zenith is debuting two new Pilot’s watches: The Pilot Type 20 Rescue ($7,100) and Pilot Type 20 Chronograph Rescue ($7,600) are offered in a stainless steel case with a slate-grey sunray dial, with the signature oversized Arabic numerals entirely made out of SuperLumiNova. (Zenith notes that the pricing indicated here is subject to change). DEFY 21 Coinciding with the debut of the next- generation Land Rover Defender, Zenith and the famed British carmaker have collaborated on the Defy 21 Land Rover Edition ($13,400). Limited to 250 pieces, the new watch is a new look for Zenith’s 1/100th-of-a-second chronograph. The new model is cased in micro-blasted titanium, and paired with a matching grey dial that now boasts a linear power reserve window with new touches of color. Partnering with DJ Carl Cox, Zenith has also expanded Defy 21 with the new Defy 21 Carl Cox ($18,800), limited to 200 pieces. Here Zenith created a new matte black carbon chronograph with a carbon fiber bezel and strap stitching that both glow in the dark. As requested by Cox, Zenith devised a rotating disk shaped like a vinyl record at 9 o’clock to serve as a running seconds indicator.  Finally, as we indicated last year, Zenith is now offering its Chronomaster Revival A384 with a perfect remake of the original Gay Frères ‘ladder’ steel bracelet ($8,100). Look for much more about Zenith’s 2020 debuts in future posts online, including any updates to the tentative pricing indicated in our report above. 78 | INTERNATIONAL WATCH | SPRING 2020 Zenith’s Defy 21 Carl Cox, showing luminous bezel fibers Defy Midnight The Zenith Defy 21 Land Rover Edition Caseback of Zenith Defy 21 Land Rover
