The futuristic Zenith Defy Zero G

An unforgettable Defy Zero G

 

Since its debut in 1969, the legendary movement El Primero has been ever-evolving, regularly enriched with additional complications, original mechanism and novel materials. This year, Zenith once again blazed the trail towards watchmaking’s future with the 44 mm Defy Zero G, a timepiece that defies the laws of gravity with its gyroscopic “Gravity Control” module.

 

Defy Zero G (for Gravity) was fitted with the manual-winding El Primero 8812S calibre, as well as the patented “Gravity Control” gyroscopic module at 6 o’clock. With only 30% of its initial volume, the marine-chronometer-inspired module cancels the effects of gravity on the running rate of the watch, by maintaining the regulating organ and the balance wheel in a horizontal position.

 

With a double guarantee of extreme precision, the high oscillation-frequency El Primero movement enables a measure precise to 1/10th of a second. While the offset blue tinted index ring adds a twist to the rose gold case, the small seconds subdial between 9 and 10 o’clock and the power-reserve counter between 2 and 3 o’clock are symmetrically arranged.

 

The futuristic dial is a portrayal of the brand’s proud tradition of dynamic and avant-garde thinking. Propelled by this gusto, Zenith is writing its future… and the future of Swiss watchmaking.
