Reference 01.0022.382 is a 1970s Zenith automatic, belonging to the line that collectors call “Pilot” or “Pilot Surf”: names of usage rather than commercial names, because in those years Zenith did not always give each reference a precise designation.
The model
The 37 mm steel case has the rounded, barrel shape typical of the decade, and is paired with a steel bracelet. The dial has applied indices and shows hours, minutes, central seconds and the date at 3 o’clock; the crystal is acrylic. The movement is mechanical with automatic winding: references of this period are often fitted with the Zenith 2572 PC calibre, with date.
For the collector
The Zenith Pilot Surf combines a style at once sporty and elegant with the design elements characteristic of the 1970s. It is a watch suited both to collectors of period timepieces and to those looking for a Swiss automatic with a retro aesthetic, signed by a Maison founded in 1865.
