Very nice example, Jeff. It's Zenith's answer to the manual Autavias. Just got one of these myself. I believe both gold and steel subdial hands are correct, as well as main second hand with and without lume paddle.

But you know I'm a bit of a pedant when it comes to Zenith. I've never heard this one referred to as a Pilot. Rather, people speak about the model that GIGI shows as a Pilot.

In fact, the Zenith Pilot was a line of smallish and accessibly priced sport watches in the 1950s.

The watch we've got is a ref A 277.

As far as I know, it never had a model name. Some people call it a SuperSubSea, but that's the watch Paul shows in this thread.
