    I stumbled across it while doing a Google image search.

    Big Pilot Perpetual Calendar - Stainless, Charcoal dial - Limited to 31 pieces apparently. The strap in the photo is not original - apparently it originally came with a black alligator strap as per usual.

    I know that the fliegeruhr.ch isn't COMPLETELY up to date (doesn't have the St Exupery Perpetual Calendar or any of the new Top Guns, for example)... but I've never seen a Big Pilot Perpetual with a charcoal dial!

    If someone can shed some light on this model, it would be greatly appreciated! I am an avid Big Pilot fan and I feel somewhat embarrassed that I've never seen this one before.

    Does anyone know of any other Big Pilot's that might not be on the fliegeruhr.ch website?

    I know the Zegg & Cerlati Perpetual Calendar came in stainless and was limited to 31 pieces... but every picture I've seen of it shows it to have a black dial. Is the 'charcoal' description perhaps inaccurate and this is really just a Zegg & Cerlati?

    If it is the Zegg model the numerals and hands are charcoal grey and the dial is black. It was a 31 piece limited edition.

    Try this thread....

    Thanks Alan.

    Almost certain this is the Z&C. I think the guy just made a mistake with the description. Glad to know I'm still in the loop when it comes to the Big Pilots!
