Quick TakeThe Zenith DEFY 21 Ref. 95.9002.9004/78.R590 captures the essence of modern chronography with its high-frequency El Primero 21 movement encased in a striking 44mm titanium body. The bold blue rubber strap and openworked dial with dual-colored counters speak to its aesthetic distinction, while its ability to precisely measure 1/100th of a second marks it as a leader in precision. This watch is not just a timekeeper; it's an icon of advanced horology for those who value both form and function.

DescriptionEncapsulating the spirit of innovation, the Zenith DEFY 21 Ref. 95.9002.9004/78.R590 is a masterpiece that stands at the vanguard of timepiece technology. The watch’s robust 44mm brushed titanium case is a fortress for the El Primero 21 movement, a technical giant with 293 components and a high-frequency beat of 36,000 VpH (5 Hz). This ensures the fluid motion of the central chronograph hand, completing a full rotation each second, a spectacle of accuracy in motion. The watch's openworked dial is a testament to Zenith’s commitment to transparency in craftsmanship, revealing the intricate blue mechanism within and framed by two different-colored counters that enhance the visual allure and ease of reading the time.

Function meets form in the DEFY 21’s design as it boasts a textured blue rubber strap, offering both comfort and a bold fashion statement. The chronograph’s prowess extends to its detailed features: a 30-minute counter is strategically placed at 3 o'clock, a 60-second counter is positioned at 6 o'clock, and a chronograph power-reserve indicator sits prominently at 12 o'clock. The small seconds at 9 o'clock provide a continuous undercurrent of movement, all harmoniously integrated into the open face. Water-resistant up to 10 ATM and clasped with a titanium double folding mechanism, the DEFY 21 is built to withstand the pressures of both water and daily life, making it a reliable companion for the adventurous and the style-savvy alike.
