For ZENITH connoisseurs and enthusiasts, the name Defy is hardly new. The collection's namesake dates back to 1902 when the Swiss company launched pocket watches sold under the name Defy. These watches established the values of today's collection: maximum precision and robustness. Since 1969, the current Defy models have been designed for the wrist rather than the pocket. They are a fascinating reinterpretation of these values, combining them with ultra-modern movements, futuristic shapes, and innovative materials. Today's Defy models are a wonderful symbiosis of proven values and the power to continuously set new standards in fine watchmaking.

ZENITH Defy: Welcome to the Now, Welcome to the Future

The Defy collection ranges from the massive 45-millimeter Defy Extreme to the classically modern Defy Skyline. Almost all of the Defy collection's watches are powered by an advanced version of the coveted, high-frequency El Primero movement and demonstrate their technical prowess through special complications. ZENITH combines all kinds of novelties in the Defy collection, such as a previously unsurpassed fast small seconds subdial in the Defy Skyline, which on closer inspection turns out to be a permanent 1/10th of a second display. Visually, ZENITH's Defy models feature a wide range of designs. Striking designs that showcase the technical prowess of the watch via skeletonized dials alternate with understated designs that reveal their uniqueness upon closer inspection. While ZENITH's timepieces are designed for both women and men, the Defy Midnight is a petite 36-millimeter model aimed exclusively at women.
