This is a very rare 1930s Zenith Pilot's Watch with a turning bezel. The case design is massive even though it is 35mm, and it is a 3 piece case with screw back on both sides. Unlike other AVIATOR models, this unique piece has a good balance as a regular wristwatch. The glass and other parts are still intact with thick beveled glass, which seems to be from those days. The strap is made of the highest quality cordovan made by HOWEEN, which is well known by Alden.

Other details
Case: The case is in a very good condition without feeling much use as it seems to be a product that has basically slept as a dead stock for a long time, although some abrasions are visible on the back cover.
Dial: beautiful black mirror and tritium indexes, but the hand is at 11:47 and there is a fluorescent burn mark on the dial from being in the dead stock for a long time.
Movement: The winding is smooth and accurate for a machine of this age, with a solid 10 seconds per day difference.
