The house of Zenith is gearing up for this year’s Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, which takes place September 30th 2018. This annual event, established back in 2012, will gather no less than 120,000 elegant gentlefolk all over the world, riding their vintage or classic motorcycles and raising money and awareness on behalf of the event’s charity partner, The Movember Foundation. The ride with a cause is dedicated to supporting men’s health, gathering funds for prostate cancer research and male suicide prevention.
The event, which has become one of the biggest global charity fundraisers for men’s health, raised over 13 million dollars to date, with the goal of raising 6 more millions through the 2018 fundraising campaign. To help this noble wish come true, Zenith partners with the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride to offer the new PILOT Type 20 Chronograph Ton Up Black.
This vintage-styled timepiece, designed in honor of the café racer biker community, is the latest rendition of Zenith Heritage Pilot Café Racer Spirit, a watch that made its debut back in 2016. This year, the pilot’s watch dedicated to “ton-up” boys comes with a new blackened dial and a black leather strap. Just like a classic café racer - a lightweight, lightly powered motorbike adjusted for speed and handling rather than comfort - the PILOT Type 20 Chronograph Ton Up Black is a minimalistic timepiece stripped of all unnecessary elements.
Sporting a masculine 45 mm aged stainless steel case, the watch features a somber, clutterless matte black dial teamed with a black oily Nubuck leather strap finished with contrasting white hand stitching and a titanium buckle. A trio of oversized gold-plated hands sweeps above the white Arabic hands, set against the contrasting black backdrop. The back of the stealthy black case reveals a deep engraving of a café racer on his motorcycle. Underneath the medallion is the in-house calibre El Primero 4069, an automatic chronograph movement beating at a frequency of 36,000vph, endowed with 50 hours of power reserve.
Zenith Pilot Type 20 Chronograph Ton Up Black, Ref 11.2432.4069/21.C900, comes with a price tag of $7,200. More information at Zenith-Watches.

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. The Zenith Oscillator, first introduced with the Defy Lab in 2017, has replaced the sprung balance used in mechanical watchmaking 350 years. 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...
