Title:
59, 60, Click: The GPHG-Winning Zenith Everybody Forgot (The Pilot Big Date Special 42)
Description:
A tiny click on a chronograph sends Watchovski from his desk to Geneva. The Zenith Pilot Big Date Special won the 2012 GPHG Petite Aiguille, runs a five-hertz El Primero 4010, hides a patented big date that reads backwards, and shares its two-eyed layout with Zenith’s Cold War pilot chronographs on both sides of the Adriatic. So why does nobody talk about it? Jumping minute counters, useless telemeters, a Habring cameo, and the best-kept secret on the secondary market.
