One of the novelties presented at the last Basselworld was the new version of theZenith Defy Classic, a classic cut model that, however, is impregnated with the future, with a sporty design wrapped in modernity and with that elegance that characterizes this beautiful collection.
The new futuristic design of theZenith Defy ClassicIt comes in 6 versions, three of them with the traditional dial and many others skeletonized. With a diameter of 41 mm, they come with an ultra-light brushed titanium case, and all have the color blue as a base, combining in the different dial models with the different bracelets, whether made of titanium, monostructural rubber or covered in alligator skin.
As for the movement, this time Zenith has left aside its traditional El Primero caliber to equip theZenith Defy Classicwith its other great caliber: Elite. Thus, its 187-piece Elite 670 automatic caliber has a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and a power reserve of 48 hours. Furthermore, in the skeletonized versions you can see the escape wheel and silicon anchor with which this new model has been equipped.
As for the dial, all versions feature rhodium-plated and luminescent indices, as do the hands, the baton-shaped hour hand and the star-weighted seconds hand. The date window is located at 6 o'clock on the skeletonized models and at 3 o'clock on the blue dial models.
As you can see, the Zenith Defy Classic is a safe bet. With a precise heart and an elegant and sophisticated appearance that does not renounce sportiness focused on the future, it is one of the pleasant novelties with which Zenith has surprised us, launching a simple and avant-garde watch on the market that responds to the needs of those who seek simplicity and precision with a touch of modernity.
