Achieving the lightness unique to titanium.






The "Pilot Aéronavf Type 20 "GMT" Limited Edition" is a limited-run GMT (dual time) model that fuses the modern, formidable aesthetic with the grand tradition of pilot's watches. Its titanium case is treated with a hard, wear-resistant DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) black coating.

The movement is the "Caliber Elite 693" automatic winding, manufactured in-house by Zenith. The lightweight feel, distinct from the regular stainless steel case model, is a significant appeal of the titanium case.
