The V+ Pilot Type 20 Extra Special pays tribute to the golden age of aviation, drawing inspiration from Zenith's legendary cockpit instruments and early pilot's watches. With its oversized proportions, highly legible dial, and vintage-inspired design, it perfectly captures the spirit of classic aviation while offering modern reliability and everyday practicality.
Crafted from stainless steel with a commanding 45mm case size, the watch offers exceptional wrist presence while remaining surprisingly comfortable thanks to its curved lugs and balanced proportions. The beautifully brushed case, oversized onion crown, polished bezel, and engraved caseback preserve the unmistakable character of the original Pilot Type 20 collection.
The centerpiece of this configuration is its matte black pilot dial. Large cream-colored Arabic numerals coated with vintage-style luminous material provide exceptional legibility in all lighting conditions. Cathedral-style hands, a railroad minute track, and the clean three-hand layout create an authentic vintage aviation aesthetic while maintaining outstanding readability.
Powering the watch is the Miyota 9015 Automatic Movement, renowned for its reliability, smooth automatic winding, hacking seconds, quick-set time adjustment, and dependable everyday performance. Its slim construction and proven durability have made it one of the most respected automatic movements used in premium replica watches.
A domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating provides excellent clarity while protecting the dial beneath, preserving the vintage appearance while offering modern scratch resistance.
The premium distressed brown leather strap perfectly complements the vintage aviation styling. Soft, comfortable, and beautifully finished, it enhances the rugged character of the watch while providing excellent comfort for daily wear.
V+ has produced an outstanding interpretation of the Pilot Type 20 Extra Special, combining accurate case proportions, crisp dial execution, premium finishing, and reliable movement performance into one of the finest vintage-inspired pilot's watches available.
