Mechanical Rainbow: Zenith DEFY EXTREME CHROMA Limited Edition Watch

The Zenith DEFY EXTREME CHROMA limited edition watch perfectly blends high-frequency precision timekeeping with a vibrant design language, brilliantly showcasing the brand's exceptional watchmaking expertise and bold, avant-garde spirit. Following the successful launch of the DEFY 21 Chroma watch in white ceramic in 2022, and the subsequent addition of the Chroma II watch in white and black ceramic in 2023, this pioneering concept, which boldly combines cutting-edge technology and artistic vision, makes a striking return in two new DEFY Extreme limited edition watches.

The two new DEFY Extreme Chroma watches are meticulously crafted from titanium and ceramic, adorned with striking colors. Their angular 45mm diameter cases are made of micro-blasted titanium or brushed and polished titanium; while the dodecagonal bezel, push-button guards, and crown are crafted from black micro-blasted titanium or white ceramic. The interplay of different materials and finishing techniques highlights the architectural geometric beauty of the DEFY Extreme watch, further emphasizing its bold and dynamic character. With a water resistance of 20 ATM (200 meters), its exceptional performance allows it to withstand challenging environments.

The DEFY Extreme Chroma watch is powered by a specially crafted El Primero 9004 automatic movement, whose bridges are PVD-coated in vibrant colors, resembling a mechanical rainbow. The hour markers and numerals feature a gradient of colors that complement the movement's dazzling spectrum, with each movement boasting a unique color scheme, subtly visible through the black or white openworked dial. This vibrant color scheme extends to the tips of the hands on the subdials—including the chronograph hour and minute hands at 9 and 3 o'clock, the power reserve indicator at 12 o'clock, and the small seconds hand at 6 o'clock. On the watch's case back, the striking ZENITH signature star-shaped oscillating weight continues the colorful theme: the black version features a dazzling blue, while the white version uses an electric green.

From a technical standpoint, the El Primero 9004 movement stands out with its exceptional timing accuracy of up to 1/100th of a second. This remarkable achievement is thanks to two independent escapement mechanisms, each equipped with a mainspring barrel and regulating device. One escapement operates at a frequency of 5 Hz (36,000 vibrations per hour), ensuring precise timekeeping; the other drives the chronograph at an astonishing 50 Hz (360,000 vibrations per hour). The central chronograph seconds hand rotates once per second on the dial, allowing the wearer to read the time with 1/100th of a second accuracy.

The Zenith DEFY Extreme Chroma watch, like all DEFY Extreme models, features a quick-release strap system, allowing for easy strap changes with the press of a button on the case back. Each watch comes with three straps for versatile styling: a black or white embossed rubber strap with a folding clasp; a titanium bracelet with a matching finish; and a black Velcro strap. Repwatcheaprice - Luxury replica Omega Seamaster price, Cheap Watches For Men And Women.
