ZenithDefyModel No: 95.9002.9004/78.R584-1

To experience an acclaimed watch design rendered in contemporary material powered by a supremely enhanced movement capable of measuring 1/100th of a second is to experience Zenith at its very best. We are talking about this Defy 21.

While the case, 44mm wide cast in lightweight titanium, is fantastically made keeping comfort and wearability in mind, it is hard to focus on anything else but the movement on this reference 95.9002.9004/78.R584. Of course, the presence of the prestigious EL Primero movement per se makes one bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, but here things go a different level with the COSC-certified El Primero 21 calibre that measures 1/100th of a second. In order to do that, this automatic calibre comes with a separate mainspring and balance wheel, and its oscillating system beats at a crazy rate of 3,60,000vph. Consequently, it allows the central chronograph hand to complete one full rotation every second. Also, Zenith has very aptly put this marvellous movement on full display through a skeletonised dial and exhibition caseback. On the dial side, chronograph subdials featuring a 60-second counter at six o'clock and a 30-minute counter at three o'clock are positioned. Whereas, at 12 sits a power reserve indicator.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
