Zenith Defy Xtreme Open watch

The Zenith Defy Xtreme Open watch is a cutting edge sports timepieces that merges prestigious Manufacture watchmaking technique with an uncompromisingly rugged design to expand the parameters of the mechanical sports watch. The result is a wrist companion which is at once a fine watch, an exceptional precision instrument, and a statement of cutting edge fashion. Crafted from black titanium, the large 46.5mm case of this Zenith watch is extremely comfortable, thanks to the light weight of titanium. However, strength is also a noted attribute of this excellent material, a significant reason why Zenith has employed it in this timepiece's design. Equipped with a protected screw-down crown and chronograph pushers, this no compromise sports watch can descend to a depth of 1000 meters. The addition of a unidirectional rotating bezel and a helium release valve make this watch ideal for any serious diving mission. Despite these serious technical attributes, the appearance of this Zenith watch is anything but sober--the strikingly unique dial is crafted from a rare combination of hesalite glass, carbon fiber and aluminum, providing a fascinating backdrop for the power-reserve display and the unique dial cutout that displays the mechanical movement and its rapidly pulsing balance wheel. The Zenith Defy Xtreme Open watch is animated by a movement which is legendary among timepiece collectors. Like the original El Primero movement which Zenith introduced in 1969 to great acclaim, the Zenith 4021 SX caliber offers a fully integrated chronograph mechanism which is governed by a column-wheel. Made up of 248 carefully finished components, this movement is self-winding and has a power reserve of of approximately 55 hours, the status of which can be easily ascertained via the power reserve indicator. Like all Zenith El Primero chronograph variants, the balance wheel of this watch alternates 36,000 times per hour, a unique high-speed frequency which permits the chronograph mechanism to record independent time intervals to a precision of 1/10 second. The Zenith Defy Xtreme Open Gold & Titanium watches share all the specifics and features of the Defy Xtreme Open, but feature accents of 18K rose gold on the bezel, dial, and chronograph pushpieces. All versions of this exciting Zenith watch are available with a comfortable and highly durable rubber strap, or the signature Zenith Defy bracelet which unites such diverse materials as stainless steel or titanium with carbon fiber, composites, and Kevlar for unmatched strength and an utterly unique appearance. A triple deployant security clasp ensures the watch will not part company from its wearer no matter the nature of the adventure in question.
