Owning a timepiece from one of the truly great producers is surely
one of life’s special treats. Swiss manufacturer Zenith was founded in
1865 and has been crafting a wide range of intriguing, and oftentimes
award-winning, timepieces ever since.
The visually dynamic and alluringly kinetic
skeleton dial of this Zenith Defy will captivate your imagination and
become the star piece of your collection.
With gorgeous blue accents the dial is alive with
luminous index hour markers and rhodium-plated hands as well as a
convenient power-reserve indicator at 12.
The chronograph functions deliver a 30-minute
counter at 3, a large 60-second counter at 6, and a red-tipped center
hand to read down to 1/100th second via the outer track in black and
white. This hand makes a full revolution every second and sports the
Zenith star logo as a counterweight. There is an elegant running small
seconds subdial at 9.
Peer through the scratch-resistant sapphire
crystal, as well as the exhibition case back, and you will be enchanted
to see one of Zenith’s famed calibers: the manufacture certified
chronometer El Primero 9004, which is a self-winding movement that beats
at 36,600 vph, possesses 53 jewels, and gives you a 50-hour power
reserve. The chronograph function delivers a 50-minute power reserve and
is hand-wound.
The luxuriously rugged and lightweight brushed
titanium case measures 44 mm in diameter, 14.5 mm in height, and rests
upon a fashionable blue rubber strap with a deployant clasp. This watch
is rated down to 100 m / 10 atm.
From its expert craftsmanship and chronometer
accuracy to its vibrant stylings, we believe this Zenith Defy will make
an essential addition to your collection.
