To celebrate this event, Zenith launches a special edition of the Pilot Ton-Up watch. Five of these timepieces will be awarded to the best fundraisers around the world. The Heritage Pilot Ton-up, which was inspired by the Café Racer, a lightweight motorcycle reminiscent of 1960s Grand Prix motorcycles. Like Zenith’s watches replica, the bikes focused on design and engineering equally. The bikes were used primarily by the rock and roll counterculture, and Zenith hopes to attract a younger generation to their watches replica.
