The Zenith booth at Baselworld had an entire wall of early Zenith flieger watches going from the oldest 1910 pilot watch shown above, to their newest pilot watch called the Doublematic with the El Primero 4046.
The new model (pictured at the bottom of this page) has it all, including big date, GMT hand, and an alarm! It’s interesting to see the evolution of the Zenith pilot and how it has become what it is today. One can only image what it will be like tomorrow.
