Zenith impresses with the four new Defy Sports models it introduced as part of LVMH Watch Week 2023, which started yesterday.
Focusing on the Defy model family, a successful member in the sports watch segment with integrated bracelets for LVMH WW 2023, the well-established brand also underlines the future vision of the collection with four new models introduced.
Defy Extreme Glacier
Defy Extreme Glacier, which is one of the most striking models among the newly introduced models, dazzles with its 45mm diameter titanium case. The new model comes with a dial equipped with ice blue components following the Glacier theme. The brand, which uses chalcedony stone, which stands out with its translucent blue texture, instead of a simple color play in the construction of the dial, uses the Caliber El Primero 9004 movement, which can measure with 1/100 second precision and brings a new dimension to the analog chronograph concept with its double escapement system. The model, accompanied by a titanium bracelet compatible with the case, has two more strap options, white rubber, and black velcro. The model, which will continue to decorate your wrist in summer with its 200-meter water resistance, is limited to only 50 pieces. The list price for the model is CHF 25,900.
Defy Skyline Skeleton
The Defy Skyline model family, which was introduced as part of LVMH WW a year ago, is now getting a new version that draws attention with its skeleton-shaped dial. The model family, which has made a game-changer style with its three-handed caliber designed based on the legendary Caliber El Primero with Hi-Beat Automatic Chronograph, is among the innovations of the brand in 2023.
The collection, which has a solid place in the luxury sports watch segment with its 41mm diameter stainless steel case and integrated bracelet, hosts a stylish skeleton dial that stands out with its industrial style. At the heart of the model, in which the super-fast second's hand is moved to the 6 o'clock position, is the Caliber El Primero 3260 with a 60-hour power reserve. The model is surely a candidate to be one of the indispensable companions of the summer days we miss with its 100 meters water resistance and black rubber strap optionç MSRP is CHF 10,900.
Zenith Defy Skyline 36mm
Another innovation added to the Defy Skyline family is a new subgroup that offers unisex usage with its 36mm diameter. Among the innovations of the Defy Skyline 36 mm, comes in three models in total including a gem-set version that stands out with its diamond-set bezel.
The 36mm diameter stainless steel cases feature striking dials with vibrant pink and green tones. The models, which come to life with the Caliber Elite 760 with a power reserve of 50 hours, do not compromise on their sporty character with their 100-meter water resistance value. In addition to the steel bracelet, the new models with blue, green, and pink rubber strap options are available with list prices of CHF 8,400 (standard) and CHF 11,900 (diamond bezel).
Zenith Defy Skyline Boutique Edition
Among the innovations is a boutique edition. The new model, which can only be obtained from Zenith boutiques even though it is not limited production, comes with a 41mm diameter steel case. The case, which is waterproof up to 100 meters, hosts a bi-color dial this time, featuring gray and rose gold tones. The new model, powered by the automatic Caliber El Primero 3260 with a 60-hour power reserve, is available with a steel bracelet and black rubber strap options. The price determined for the model is CHF 8,900.
