Pilot Type 20 is the most charming manifestation of Zenith's storied legacy in the world of aviation. Subsequently, Zenith patrons cannot get enough of this watch, making the brand constantly experiment to give us something new to drool over. This Type 20 Extra Special was released in 2018 as an iterated 40mm version of the 2015 45mm model. Its introduction seemed like a realisation that perhaps such an elegant timepiece that could also easily pass for a dress watch should be available in a more versatile size.

Firstly, attention must be paid to the watch's elegant construction. The bronze case flaunts a rounded profile with the signature onion-shaped crown. The dial comes in a timeless black hue and the strap in a darker shade of green to achieve an overall balanced mien. The dial is the focal point of this watch, carrying Arabic numeral hours markers and cathedral-style hands. The addition of signature script is carried out neatly to establish a clean, legible look for the dial.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
