The replica Zenith Watches Defy Extreme watch collection features a 1/100th chronograph

Gosh, I was so excited when I saw this folder in one of the hundreds of online file sharing systems before Watches & Wonders. Its title is DEFY EXTREME, all caps. Even though the Zenith Defy watch originated in the 1960s, my idea of ​​the Defy Extreme is reminiscent of super weird monster Zenith's infamous Nataf-era creations. Well, the Zenith Defy Extreme Watch Collection returns in 2021, not with a vengeance, but as an "all-terrain" 1/100-second chronograph.

Just a few months ago I wrote in my review of the rather excellent Type 20 blueprint: "In Thierry Nataf's time, Zenith produced dull 'classic' watches And absolutely unhinged monsters (unhinged idiots like me seem to have developed a weird affection). Well, Defy Extreme is back and it looks more like a full-on frontal assault on the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph , rather than a weird exercise in cramming a record number of completely redundant design elements into the same luxury replica watches.

Zenith calls the new Defy Extreme an “all-terrain” chronograph—perhaps a knee-jerk attempt at an AP Offshore, well, Offshore. With water resistance to 20 bar (equivalent to 200 metres), these highly sophisticated mechanical chronographs are not meant to be the queens of safety. For a moment I was weirdly worried about these being called "all-terrain" watches and then coming with a measly 50m WR, or worse - for any four figure price tag in my opinion is unacceptable, let alone five. But the 200m rating indicates a suitable enclosure and gasket. Most current offshore chronographs are water resistant to 100 meters.

Each new Zenith Defy Extreme watch features a 45mm wide, 15.40mm thick case in titanium, with a more traditional brushed and polished look, and a more futuristic microblasted design. One of the models, number 87.9100.9004, has 18kt polished rose gold added around the bezel and pushers – the latter arguably the closest to the ROO in appearance. From the images alone, I'd expect these chronograph pusher surrounds to somehow be more of their own thing. Still, want to check these out in the metal before making a final judgement.replica Richard Mille watches

The transparent dial of the new 2021 Zenith Defy Extreme 1/100th Chronograph follows an existing trend that has determined the aesthetic of the Defy (as well as many designs from other LVMH brands, but that's another discussion). Still, it's a perfect fit for the Defy Extreme, especially when you consider those massive hour and minute hands. Behind their filigree center is a wide solid area, making these a spectacular handmade design, even if the eye is initially overwhelmed by all the other things going on. Applied hour markers and an undisturbed minute track with a peripheral 100 ring allow for accurate time readings - a 'feature' that is still neglected or sacrificed in too many luxury best replica watch.

The dial showcases the epic Zenith El Primero caliber 9004, which includes a superfast balance beating at 5 hertz (36,000 vph) and a superfast balance running at 50 hertz (360,000 vph). The latter is responsible for the 1/100th of a second chronograph and its lightning-fast chronograph second hand sweeps the entire dial, not in a minute like a normal chronograph, but in a second. across the entire dial. Many people choose chronographs for the added visual interest and engaging operation they add – well, the central seconds hand, which spins 60 times faster than other watches, is on par with the most spectacular mechanical chronographs ever made. At least some know-how from LVMH sister brand TAG Heuer made the feat possible - but if true,

The power reserve is quoted as being "at least 50 hours" and, as it should be on an El Primero, it's replenished by an automatic winding system. There is a power reserve indicator at 12 o'clock, another rare but genuinely useful feature of modern mechanical movements. The main plates are unique in that they are colored to match the color palette of the watch: the movement is black, blue or gold and looks so natural with the case assembly that one might mistake this extremely rare movement Finishes indeed. If anything, this shows that Zenith didn't piece these watches together, but designed them as a whole - from the case and bezel to the hands to the movement. This effort is worth emphasizing, even if it's reflected in the price.replica mens watch


Available in three main styles, the new Zenith Defy Extreme each comes with a micro-blasted titanium bracelet with rubber strap and comes with a Velcro ® strap in the box for a refreshed look. It must be said that these one-piece case designs aren't always the most comfortable, but the entire case and bracelet are made of lightweight titanium, which may make these rather beastly watches fun to wear And comfortable. The formula does work with Breitling B55 Exospace.

The Defy Xtreme, as it's spelled in Tricksters, has never been a watch with universal appeal, and that's certainly the case for the 2021 Zenith Defy Extreme. They're big and chunky, and a sophisticated taste for some (and simply unwearable for others), but the technical prowess and overall attention to detail embodied in these double escapement movements cannot be overlooked .

I can't help but think that a watch with these technical specs and bold looks would have retailed for nearly twice as much as it does about a decade ago. That said, now they do function as a competitively priced (though undoubtedly expensive) alternative.https://www.moon-watch.co
