Discover the Zenith Doublematic Pilot: A Timepiece that Combines Chronograph, Worldtimer, and Mechanical Alarm

The Zenith Doublematic Pilot, announced at Baselworld in 2012, is not only a watch but a work of art with immense horological significance. This exceptional timepiece, with a 45 mm diameter stainless steel case, stands out with the inclusion of a chronograph, a notable feature of many El Primero timepieces, along with a 24-city worldtimer, and a mechanical alarm. This combination of functions showcases Zenith’s mastery in watch-making craftsmanship.

The Doublematic Pilot, with reference number 03.2400.4046/21.C721, is powered by the El Primero 5Hz caliber 4046 movement. This elaborate system drives a wide array of functions including a chronograph, world time, date, and alarm. The watch’s operation is managed by pushers on the right flank for the chronograph, and crowns on the left for the world time.

A key aesthetic element of the Doublematic Pilot is the bezel, hosting a day/night indicator, along with a list of 24 cities for time zone adjustment. Adding another dimension of practicality to the piece is a power reserve subdial placed strategically at 7 o’clock. This not only signifies the remaining power in the alarm’s mainspring but also displays whether the alarm function is switched on or off. All these thoughtful design and functional elements position this watch well within the upper echelon of horological masterpieces.
