The ZENITH DEFY Extreme Diver represents a significant evolution in luxury diving timepieces, combining robust functionality with sophisticated design elements. This latest version features a striking silver-white dial that attracts attention while maintaining professional performance standards.
This 42.5mm titanium timepiece is built to withstand demanding underwater conditions and offers exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. The watch is distinguished by its angular case architecture and distinctive twelve-sided bezel, demonstrating ZENITH’s commitment to form and function.
Technical excellence defines this professional diving instrument, which is water resistant to 600 meters (equivalent to 1,969 feet). The unidirectional black ceramic rotating bezel features Super-LumiNova filled markers for reliable underwater timing. Protected by robust crown guards, the oversized screw-in crown ensures secure operation even when wearing diving gloves.
The dial showcases ZENITH’s attention to detail with a geometric four-pointed star pattern, a tribute to the brand’s heritage dating back to 1969. The applied hour markers and oversized hands use three different Super-LumiNova pigments to produce distinct blue, green and yellow emissions for optimal legibility. Strategic orange accents pay tribute to historic diving models while enhancing underwater visibility.
