Zenith- Defy Extreme Grande Date Limited Edition

Considered the highest point of watch-making perfection the Swiss brand Zenith was founded in 1865, Le Locle by a young watchmaker Georges Favre-Jacot, and through the years gathered prestige by creating high-performance luxurious timepieces which have obtained over 1500 international awards and by creating over 50 different mechanical movements, and among them we include the emblematic El Primero, widely accepted as being among the best chronograph calibers ever built. Today this brand belongs to LVMH group, and continues to design timepieces extremely appreciated by the watch collectors worldwide.
        Zenith gained its international prestige for creating a diversified area of highly exclusivist watches, and Zenith Defy Extreme Grande Date Stealth limited edition is among the most attractive models they have designed during the last year, a timepiece which successfully combines sporty and vanguard style touches becoming a coveted collector’s item.
        The watch is available in two coloristic options, featuring either grey or black titanium case that emanates sportiness and masculinity. Zenith designers have added to the dark accents of the case extreme contrasting matte red in the watch’s hands and balance-wheal Bridge.


        The model accommodates not only a ravishing avant-garde design but also the latest technology in its anti-shock system, the Zenith patented Open Grande Date 4039 SX movement and an El Primero Chronograph with a 3-disk Grande Date, one-of-a-kind technology. The Defy Stealth design finds its inspiration in the Stealth Bombers aircrafts.
        The case dimensions, 46.5 mm in diameter emanate strength and masculinity and its construction is rendered complete by the titanium case back which provides a mind numbing water resistance of 1000 meters; the timepiece is also equipped with graduated unidirectional rotating bezel, and helium valve positioned at 10 o’clock.
        Due to its multi-layered transparent structure, the model is a continuous challenge for the imagination, the dial is revealed through a sapphire crystal that has received anti-reflective treatment on both sides and the indexes are manufactured from titanium as well as the watch’s brushed bracelet.
         Zenith Defy Extreme Grande Date Stealth, limited edition is a fascinating, eye-catching timepiece which was manufactured in only 250 pieces per variation, world wide and is available for an exclusivist price of $31,000.00.
