Its 57.5 mm-diameter case made of solid rose gold features a notched easy-grip crown serving to wind and set the watch to time. The dial is distinguished by absolute readability. The mechanical hand-wound 5011K movement chronometer-certified by the COSC meets the highest standards of reliability and precision Oscillating at 18,000 vibrations per hour, the 5011 calibre has a separate mechanism for stopping the seconds hand and synchronising the hour. It features shock-absorbers on the balance-wheel and escapement arbors, fine adjustment, and a self-compensating anti-magnetic Breguet overcoil balance spring, mobile stud-holder, double-arrow index regulator, and the Zenith winding-crown stem attachment system. All these assets combine to ensure that the watch gives a first-rate performance without losing its vintage feel." With such a large size, the 50mm wide 5011 movement needed a large case if it was to be in a wristwatch. Hence the size of the Type 20 timepieces. Functionally the movement has the time, subsidiary seconds dial, and a power reserve indicator. The movement also has double balance springs. This is an important accuracy feature, but is difficult to notice from images. You can see that the escapement mechanism has double fine adjusters on the movement. With 48 hours of power reserve, the caliber 5011 (which Zenith actually called the 5011K in the Type 20) is also COSC Chronometer certified. According to Zenith it is among the most accurate production movements ever made in a wrist watch.
