Funny you should mention Zenith pilot watches.
Only this morning I purchased both of these via the LVMH employee sale (my daughter works for Belmond in UK) not the watch I was hoping for but always liked .

Yeah, I know it's all El Primero this and that these days but IIRC Zenith still hold the patent for a "Pilot" watch and are apparently still the only brand allowed to put "Pilot" on the dial.
