In the 1920s, young British motorcyclists began a sub-culture that saw adherents customizing their motorcycles to deliver maximum output and enable them to speed from one caf\u00e9 to the next \u2013 giving rise to the caf\u00e9 racer movement. This connection is noted on the titanium case back with an engraving of a speeding motorcycle, which partially obscures the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zenith-watches.com\/en_en\/\" target=\"_blank\">Zenith<\/a> emblem in the background.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-136761\" src=\"https:\/\/thatdope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/1469595029_321_Review-Zenith-Heritage-Pilot-Caf\u00e9-Racer-Spirit.jpg\" alt=\"Zenith-Heritage-Pilot-Cafe-Raccer-Spirit-crown\" width=\"600\" height=\"702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thatdope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/1469595029_321_Review-Zenith-Heritage-Pilot-Caf\u00e9-Racer-Spirit.jpg 600w, http:\/\/www.luxuo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Zenith-Heritage-Pilot-Cafe-Raccer-Spirit-crown.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The olive green nubuck strap is lined with rubber on the underside to prolong the longevity of the leather and make the watch more wearable on the road.
