This boutique-exclusive piece stands out for its harmonious blend of performance, durability, and style, making it a coveted item for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

DescriptionThe Zenith DEFY 21 Ref. 49.9007.9004/11.R923 Boutique Edition encapsulates the essence of modern watchmaking with its high-frequency El Primero 21 movement, capable of measuring time to an extraordinary 1/100th of a second. This precision is achieved through two separate escapements: one dedicated to the standard timekeeping function at 5Hz and another for the chronograph function at an impressive 50Hz. The watch's openworked dial not only allows a glimpse into the complexity of its inner workings but also serves as a canvas for a visually striking contrast between black and white elements. This design choice is not merely aesthetic; it enhances readability and underscores the watch's dual nature as both a functional instrument and a piece of contemporary art.

The physical embodiment of the DEFY 21's cutting-edge technology and design philosophy is reflected in its use of materials. The 44mm case is crafted from matte ceramic, complemented by a white ceramic bezel, achieving a durable yet lightweight profile. The watch's strap marries black rubber with white "cordura effect" rubber, offering both comfort and a distinctive look. Additionally, the inclusion of a titanium double folding clasp with Black DLC coating not only secures the watch with elegance but also reinforces the achromatic theme. Water-resistant up to 10 ATM, this boutique edition combines the resilience required for daily wear with the sophistication expected of a luxury timepiece. Its high-contrast, high-frequency design is a testament to Zenith's commitment to innovation and style.
