Zenith has introduced three new models of its renowned DEFY series, the Extreme Diver, the Revival A3648, and the Skyline Chronograph for Watches and Wonders Geneva 2024. When it comes to tough and dependable watches, diving aficionados have turned to Zenith DEFY since 1969. DEFY keeps impressing with its unique designs and useful features, proving that only the best will do when it comes to endurance.
DEFY Extreme Diver
The DEFY Extreme Diver, which pays homage to the innovative spirit of the 1969 DEFY divers, has undergone an appealing redesign for 2024. The 42.5mm case, which is made of durable titanium, has precisely the right angles for the ideal balance of strength and sophistication, making it resistant to even Mother Nature. With a helium escape valve, this watch is perfect for the daring deep-sea adventurer in you and undoubtedly raises the bar for other diving watches available.
The elaborate geometric pattern of four etched pointed stars on the metallic dial makes it the most recognizable element of the DEFY range. Select from two striking colors: black or enticing blue. Both have a lovely sunburst finish with rays originating from the applied Zenith star at noon, which is our favorite type of night sky. The date window at three o’clock, large hands, and applied hour markers in blue, green, and orange are further examples of the color coordination. Behind a sapphire display, there’s El Primero 3620-SC automatic high-frequency manufacturer calibre. You will also have plenty of time to explore thanks to the 60-hour power reserve.
DEFY Revival A3468
This model comes with the distinctive angular 37mm stainless steel case that pays homage to the original DEFY series. With a sapphire crystal inlay, the unidirectional rotating bezel now has black markings on vivid orange backgrounds, paying homage to the vintage A3648. The dial on the face carries over the black and orange motif, with matte black background with orange hands and a minute track. Additionally, the white Super-LumiNova in the hour markers and hands produces a brilliant green hue when you’re skimming around the ocean floor.
This watch maintains its remarkable 600m water resistance with ease thanks to its captivating screw-down crown, which is positioned at 4 o’clock. Additionally, you can view the complex internal mechanisms of the Elite 670 automated manufacturing movement—which has a 50-hour power reserve—thanks to its tiny diver’s design with a sapphire back. It also comes with the same five-link steel bracelet as its predecessor, which has an expandable deployment buckle that allows you to wear it over your diving attire in addition to on dry ground.
DEFY Skyline Chronograph
The DEFY Skyline Chronograph revitalizes nostalgia by drawing from a lineage of El Primero chronographs that stretch back to the 1970s. With its cutting-edge construction and expert engineering, timekeeping has never been more awesome.
Stylish pushers perfectly match the case’s carefully sculpted lines, and the screw-down crown’s star insignia adds a touch of style while guaranteeing 100 meters of water resistance. The dial, which comes in shiny black, enticing blue, or traditional silver, is as charming as it looks. It skillfully combines the original El Primero dial design with the well-known starry sky-patterned theme, which features etched four-pointed stars.
The El Primero 3600 calibre, which boasts a 1/10th of a second function and a high frequency rate of 5Hz moves this timepiece. The mesmerizing display back of the open star-shaped oscillating weight with bidirectional winding allows for an amazing 60 hours of power reserve to ensure that time passes smoothly.
