DescriptionCrafted for those who demand precision, the Zenith DEFY 21 Ref. 95.9000.9004/78.R782 stands as a beacon of horological advancement. The watch's heart, the El Primero 21 movement, is a marvel, featuring 293 components and operating at a frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour (VpH) for timekeeping. This advanced mechanism ensures a power reserve of a minimum of 50 hours, providing reliability along with precision. The watch's brushed titanium case encapsulates a visually stunning openworked dial, where the intricacies of the movement are not just mechanical features but also elements of aesthetic pleasure. The dial showcases two different-colored counters, bringing a dynamic contrast and making the functions easily readable at a glance. The central chronograph hand completes one rotation every second, an indication of the chronograph's capability to measure time to the nearest 1/100th of a second.

Continuing its showcase of functionality, the DEFY 21 includes a 30-minute counter at the 3 o'clock position, a 60-second counter at 6 o'clock, and a unique chronograph power-reserve indication at 12 o'clock. The small seconds at 9 o'clock provides a constant, subtle motion against the backdrop of the stationary hours and minutes in the center. The meticulous design extends to the strap, where high-quality black rubber meets a titanium double folding clasp, ensuring comfort along with durability. Water resistance up to 10 ATM and a robust 44 mm diameter make this timepiece not just a sophisticated instrument inside but also a resilient companion for the everyday and beyond.
