It is big, but wearable ... and it looks fantastic
Imo the winner this year ! A lot of nice pieces at Basel and SIHH ............ but that watch was head and shoulders above the rest

Love the multi layered dial. So refreshing after all the lazy print dials

this was a watch a tried on an exposition, I don't know when they will be available but I'm glad to know that they are wearable, even with such a huge size :-)

Striking to say the least
Is the strap sewn on, or do the lugs detach from the case?

Very nice. Surprised that it doesn't look way bigger. Zenith is doing some nice work right now. The new Pilot big date is on my radar along with the new IWC Spitfire.

It sure looks like they're sewn on. I looked at pictures of the RG version from several different angles on another site, and damned if i can see any tell-tale signs of detachable lugs.

The more I see it the more I like it... if they do a 45-47mm version I'll be all over it...

You've joined a exclusive few given only about 350 of those Pilot's will be made.
I just finished reading an article on this watch, and more importantly the 5011 movement. Great watch you have there, when you have a chance pics of the case back & movement would be appreciated. |

57mm? They have to be counting the crown or you are a pro American Football player because it looks near perfect on you
