Unleashing the Depths of Mastery

Since its inception in 1969, Zenith's DEFY collection has been a beacon of boldness and resilience, affectionately dubbed the "time safe" for its unparalleled ability to protect its intricate movements. This line has defined robust precision and has transformed over the years into a platform for the Maison’s most audacious innovations, seamlessly marrying radical design with unmatched performance.

Meet the DEFY Extreme Diver: A New Apex of Adventure

Today, we welcome the DEFY Extreme Diver—an exceptional iteration that embodies the pioneering spirit of Zenith like never before. Constructed from micro-blasted titanium, its striking 42.5mm case boasts an enigmatic charm, with strong architectural lines subtly softened by bold yellow accents that instill an energetic vibe. The watch features a unidirectional rotating bezel crafted from black ceramic, fully infused with Super-LumiNova, ensuring visibility even in the deepest, darkest underwater realms.

Engineered for the Brave

This stunning timepiece is designed for saturation diving, capable of withstanding depths of up to 600 meters. With a built-in helium escape valve and a robust screw-down crown, the DEFY Extreme Diver ensures reliability under immense pressure. At its core lies Zenith’s renowned El Primero 3620 calibre—an engineering marvel with a staggering frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour. It features silicon components for enhanced durability and a 60-hour power reserve, making it a powerful ally in extreme conditions.

Versatile Style Meets Performance

But that's not all; the DEFY Extreme Diver offers versatile customization with a micro-blasted titanium bracelet, a Cordura-effect black rubber strap, and a chic black-and-yellow fabric strap—all effortlessly interchangeable to match any occasion. Priced at CHF 11,900, this watch isn’t simply a professional diving tool; it’s Zenith's audacious vision of modern horology, where technical prowess and contemporary flair beautifully converge.
