History of Zenith Defy Watches

The Zenith Defy has been produced in a wide range of selection and is available in interesting designs. Two of the most admired cases of this model is its octagonal case and the tonneau case.

Both of these Zenith watch cases feature a screwed in domed mineral crystal along with beveled edges as well as are equipped with a screw back and a screwed down crown. The case size of the octagonal case is 37 mm and is presented on a Gay Freres ladder type bracelet, whereas, the tonneau's case size measures 39 mm. The Zenith watch features a bracelet design which is semi-integrated that resembles a thick armored plate.

The Zenith Defy watches were armed with the movement 2562 PC which could high beat up to 28,800bph. It also comes with a date window that is placed at its 4 o clock and is set in a thick rubber housing inside the case so as to give it the feature of being shock resistant.

There are a number of dial combinations when it comes to the Zenith Defy collection and the one that is held in common is its coffee colored gradient which is equipped with large squared applied markers. The rare ones are presented in the same gradient design but are colored in red or turquoise. The hands of the Zenith watch have been modified into a dauphine style along with an orange luminous paddle on the second hand.

Extending line of the time-only Defy, Zenith presented the Defy as an Zenith El Primero automatic chronograph, as well and these were available under the references - A781 (in red color), A782 (in turquoise color), and A783 (in silver color along with blue subs).

The case design of these Zenith watches reached its apex with the introduction of Espada which is also available under the name Movado Astronic. This features an exceptional 3019PHF which can further be translated into a high beat, unified automatic chronograph along with a triple date and moon phase. It is not only one of the finest movements but is also one of the finest case designs that have ever been created in the golden age of mechanical watches.

The Zenith Defy were usually made available in stainless steel, with a Deluxe model sold in 18K that can be attained in either tonneau and octagonal cases whereas, the Zenith Defy El Primeros is also available in solid 18k.

The dial of these Zenith watches is adorned with a unique guilloche dial which perfectly fits well with its guilloche patterned bracelet links. The latest addition to the Zenith Defy Classic took place at the 2018 Baselworld. Two versions of this model were released with a case size of 41 mm and were brushed in titanium which is further accompanied by an integrated titanium bracelet.
