Replacement of damaged, deeply scratched, or aged original crystals
Maintaining the unique aviation‑instrument look
1. Is this a genuine Zenith crystal?
No. It is a generic aftermarket replacement, not original, but matches the 11.1940.679 dimensions.
2. Does this crystal fit other Pilot models (e.g., 29.2430.679)?
Different Pilot references have different case and crystal sizes (e.g., 45mm cases use larger crystals). Measure your original crystal diameter and height – should be 35mm/3.4mm.
3. What should I pay attention to during installation?
The pan-shaped crystal has a specific orientation – dome facing outward. Use a new gasket and UV adhesive, press evenly with a crystal press. Professional installation is recommended.
4. Will the original water resistance be maintained?
Pilot Type 20 is typically 50-100m water resistant. Proper installation with a new gasket can restore similar resistance. A water resistance test is advised.
5. Is a gasket included?
Usually not. The sealing gasket must be purchased separately. Confirm with the seller.
