The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride

This event has gained unprecedented traction in the Vintage Biking world: on September 24th 2017, in 600 cities spread across 95 countries around the world, more than 70,000 gentlefolk met up on the same day aboard their motorbikes to support research on prostate cancer and men’s mental health on behalf of the Movember Foundation.

Zenith supported this charity event for the second consecutive year. To mark this gathering and in tribute to the generous donors, the Manufacture produced six numbered Pilot Ton-Up watches, each bearing the inscription “DGR 2017”. Five were gifted to donors, while the sixth was auctioned and raised 7,500 euros for the foundation.

Among the celebrities who took part in the 2017 edition astride their respective motorbikes were American actor Eric C.Olsen (from the NCIS LA series), Australian actor Jai Courtney, as well as fashion blogger Mariano Di Vaio (DGR Milan).
