More information
The chronographs Type CP-2 produced by Zenith, Universal Genève and Leonidas for pilots of the Italian Navy are much loved by collectors thanks to their diameter and very sporty aesthetics

The name "CP" to shorten its role: Chronometer Wrist, of which two versions are known: 1 and 2, which differ in size; 38 mm the CP1 and 43 mm the CP2.

The watch’s military vocation is reflected in its construction, which features all the usual military requirements, a large, highly legible luminous black dial with wide hands and a rotating graduated bezel.

All these features perfectly fit the needs of pilots during their flight missions.
