Quick TakeThe Zenith DEFY 21 Ref. 18.9000.9004/71.R585 distinguishes itself with its revolutionary El Primero 21 movement, which incorporates two escapements to deliver unmatched timekeeping and chronograph precision. Encased in sumptuous 18k rose gold and paired with a brown alligator leather strap, this watch is an exemplary fusion of tradition and innovation, setting a new benchmark for luxury chronographs.

DescriptionThe Zenith DEFY 21 is a horological masterpiece that represents a significant leap in chronograph technology. Its 44mm case, crafted from lustrous 18k rose gold, radiates warmth and luxury. The watch is powered by the El Primero 21 movement, an advanced mechanism comprising 293 components, which operates at a high frequency of 36,000 VpH (5 Hz). This enables the chronograph function to measure time with breathtaking precision, up to 1/100th of a second, underscored by its central chronograph hand that completes a full rotation each second. The openworked dial, a signature of Zenith's commitment to transparency and design, reveals two differently colored counters, enhancing readability while adding a touch of elegance.

As much a piece of art as it is an instrument of time, the DEFY 21 offers a power reserve of at least 50 hours, a testament to its reliable automatic movement. The chronograph's prowess is on full display with its 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock, a 60-second counter at 6 o'clock, and a power-reserve indicator at 12 o'clock. Small seconds tick away at 9 o'clock, all positioned harmoniously on the openworked face. The watch is finished with a dual-material strap that combines the classic appeal of brown alligator leather with the modern resilience of black rubber, fastened securely with a gold and titanium double folding clasp.
