Zenith Defy Classic Open watch

The Zenith Defy Classic Open watch is a technically brilliant mechanical timepiece that offers an appealing combination of Manufacture know how and rugged sports-worthy design and performance. Superbly crafted in the fine Swiss tradition, yet extraordinarily tough, this Zenith timepiece has the presence to compliment the adventurous luxury lifestyle. Zenith presents this exciting Defy watch in two variations--the Defy Classic Open which is entirely in stainless steel, and the Defy Classic Open Gold & Steel, which shows off an exciting union of stainless steel and 18K rose gold. Both interpretations are available in a 43mm T size, and a wrist-filling 46.5mm XT size, which will certainly delight collectors of timepieces which are far larger than average. A rich satin finish distinguishes the case of the Defy Classic Open watches. This feature highlights the superb finishing of the guilloche decorated dial and its unique, large cutout that reveals the fascinating operation of the movement's balance wheel and escapement. Equipped with a screw-down crown and chronograph pushers, the Zenith Defy Classic Open timepiece can safely descend to a depth of 300 meters. The addition of a unidirectional rotating bezel makes the watch suitable for diving usage. Like all Zenith watches, horological substance is the root of the Defy Classic Open. Manufactured by Zenith, the El Primero 4021 SC caliber is an automatic winding movement with a power reserve complication, and a fully integrated chronograph function governed by a column-wheel. Like the first El Primero movement which Zenith brought to the market in 1969, the 4021 SC displays the unique balance wheel frequency of 36,000 alternations per hour, a singularly impressive feature which permits its chronograph to time independent intervals with precision to 1/10 of a second. The technical brilliance of this exclusive movement is complimented by fine decorative details, including perlage-finished plates, polished screws, and a guilloche winding rotor. The Zenith Defy Classic Open watches are fitted with a domed sapphire crystal that is nearly impervious to scratching. Each model is presented on either a strap of leather or rubber, or a matching bracelet in stainless steel or steel and 18K gold, according to the model.
