The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride, a global motorcycle charity event to raise awareness of prostate cancer and male suicide prevention, takes place on the last Sunday in September each year since 2012. Open to all genders, the ride provides a style guide for all participants, who are advised to arrive on a classic bike and wearing the finest suits.
For the second consecutive year, Zenith is proud to be supporting this global charity event. This year’s goal is to pass the USD 5 million mark! To help reach it, the Swiss watch Manufacture will produce six exclusive, numbered Pilot Ton-Up watches, each bearing the inscription DGR 2017.
Five of them are intended as gifts for the main donors, while a special “Number 0” model will be auctioned on behalf of the Movember Foundation by The Rake magazine and its Founder and President Wei Koh at an exceptional gala evening in Milan.
Zenith Pilot Type 20 Extra Special Ton Up for the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride is a masculine, vintage-styled timepiece that comes in a new bronze 45mm case. The model is a tribute to the Café Racer Spirit, a stripped-down motorcycle, without any unnecessary details and components, to gain more speed! The aim of these racers was to reach 100 miles per hour (160km/h), so “Ton UP” simply refers to the speed limit that a café racer had to be able to accomplish.
The watch measures 45mm in diameter and has a vintage-looking slate gray dial. The stencil-type Arabic numerals and black ruthenium-plated faceted hands are tinted with beige-colored SuperLuminova. The automatic movement Elite 679, which beats at a frequency of 28800 vibrations per hour and provides at least 50 hours of power reserve, powers this simple three-hander. The movement is sealed behind the solid case-back engraved with the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride insignia. The same motif appears on the brown oily nubuck leather strap.
95 countries, 600 cities, and more than 70,000 distinguished gentlemen will be participating in this year’s event. You may also join the movement by registering with the “Zenith Watches” team.

Zenith Defy Inventor
Among this year’s BaselWorld novelties from Zenith is the mighty Defy Inventor, a worthy successor of the Zenith Defy Lab, and the next iteration of the Zenith Oscillator.

Beating at the extremely high frequency of 18 Hz, this single silicon component integrates the functions of the balance wheel, balance spring, and lever. The single-piece Zenith Oscillator, made of monocrystalline silicon, thus increase...

Zenith Defy Lab the world’s most accurate mechanical watch
The house of Zenith has just released what seems to be a major innovation in the watch industry since the 1675 invention of the balance and hairspring principle – a simplified single-piece oscillator that fully replaces the traditional hairspring/balance wheel assembly.
