Unleashing The Wild: The New Zenith Defy Extreme Jungle
Zenith continues to push the boundaries of bold and innovative watch design with the release of the Zenith Defy Extreme Jungle, a limited-edition masterpiece that builds on the success of its predecessor, the Defy 21 “Urban Jungle.” This latest addition to the Defy Extreme collection delivers a striking combination of rugged durability and vibrant aesthetics, capturing the untamed spirit of the jungle with green details and tiger-print accents.
Housed in a robust 45mm titanium case, the watch features a brushed surface finish complemented by polished bevels, showcasing Zenith’s mastery in case crafting. The smooth bezel is supported by a 12-sided pre-bezel enhanced by striking Tiger’s Eye gemstone inlays that also adorn the crown guards. The black-coated crown at 3 o’clock is embossed with Zenith’s signature five-pointed star, flanked by two chronograph pushers. Engineered for adventure, the case offers an impressive 200-meter water resistance, ensuring reliability even in extreme conditions.
The dial of the Defy Extreme Jungle is a true spectacle, constructed from openworked sapphire and tinted green to highlight its three registers and power reserve indicator. The white 1/100th of a second chapter ring works seamlessly with the central chronograph seconds hand, which completes a full revolution every second. A black minute track surrounds the dial, while applied hour markers and skeletonized hands are filled with beige Super-LumiNova for optimal legibility in low-light settings. The chronograph features three transparent green sub-dials with tiger-colored frames: a 30-minute counter, a 60-minute counter, and a running seconds display at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock, respectively, with a power reserve indicator positioned at 12 o’clock.
Powering the Defy Extreme Jungle is the El Primero 9004 Caliber, Zenith’s highly acclaimed high-frequency automatic chronograph movement. With an impressive frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour, this 293-part movement delivers unparalleled precision and up to 50 hours of power reserve, reaffirming Zenith’s commitment to technical excellence.
The watch is paired with a titanium bracelet featuring a folding clasp, as well as a muscular green rubber strap for added versatility. Limited to just 50 pieces, the Zenith Defy Extreme Jungle offers exclusivity and a bold aesthetic statement at a price of $26,900.
For collectors and enthusiasts seeking a distinctive timepiece that combines advanced horology with an adventurous design, the Defy Extreme Jungle stands as a testament to Zenith’s ability to innovate and inspire in the world of haute horlogerie.
