Defy El Primero

Limited to 60 pieces. The Zenith Defy El Primero 21 was introduced at BaselWorld 2017. Building upon the brand's rich chronograph tradition, it is powered by the new El Primero 9004 movement, capable of measuring up to 1/100 of a second. In addition, it marks the return of the Defy name for Zenith.

Reference 449.9005.9004.72.R921 was added to the collection in 2019 as a special edition created for Park Lane of Mexico. For this edition the movement is finished in gold tone. It is delivered with a cordura-lined rubber strap as well as one lined with crocodile leather.

Zenith exists to inspire individuals to pursue their dreams and make them come true – against all odds. Since its establishment in 1865, Zenith became the first watch manufacture in the modern sense of the term, and its watches have accompanied extraordinary figures that dreamt big and strived to achieve the impossible – from Louis Blériot’s history-making flight across the English Channel to Felix Baumgartner’s record-setting stratospheric free-fall jump. With innovation as its guiding star, Zenith features exceptional in-house developed and manufactured movements in all its watches. Zenith has been shaping the future of Swiss watchmaking since 1865, accompanying those who dare to challenge themselves and break barriers. The time to reach your star is now.
