ZENITH Defy divers... Refreshingly Different... Presented at Watches and Wonders 2024.

#zenithwatches #watchesandwonders2024 #scubadiving ‪@zenithwatches‬ ‪@watchesandwondersofficial‬
ZENITH DEFY Extreme Diver and ZENITH DEFY Revival A3648. With a legacy going as far back as 1969, the DEFY Diver was in fact among the earliest DEFY wristwatch offerings. Keeping the collection’s distinctive design with its signature angular case and dodecagonal bezel, ZENITH incorporated all the necessary elements to create a diver’s watch, including a rotating bezel and bright colour accents for instant readability underwater. With the same ethos of combining form and function for a specific purpose, ZENITH is now unveiling a modern diver’s watch inspired by both historical DEFY diver’s references as well as the modern incarnation of the DEFY line, notably the DEFY Extreme. The result is a feature-packed diver’s watch that is obviously and inherently a ZENITH DEFY, built to withstand the extreme conditions encountered in the harshest environments where ice, mist and deep dark waters require enhanced performance and legibility.
While inspired by a long line of DEFY divers from 1969 onwards, the DEFY Extreme Diver is as modern as they come. Its singular and highly intricate design serve to enhance its depth-defying performance, which was conceived to take on extreme conditions where ice, water and mist present a host of challenges. Its 42.5mm angular case is crafted in titanium, a metal that not only boasts a significant weight-to-strength ratio but is also highly resistant to corrosion from salty seawater. The case is equipped with a helium escape valve for saturation diving. Above the fixed dodecagonal bezel, the ceramic unidirectional rotating bezel features grooved edges for a better grip when operating - even with gloves on. The bezel is engraved and filled with Super-LumiNova and bright colours for effortless reading underwater where light is scarce.
The oversized screw-down crown feature is protected by titanium crown-guards on either side. Just like the historical DEFY A3648 from 1969, the DEFY Extreme Diver is rated to 600 metres (60 ATM) of water-resistance, which happens to be 1’969 feet - a symbolic number for the DEFY diver. It meets the ISO 6425 requirements for professional diver watches, which include ISO 764 for paramagnetism as well as ISO 1413 for shock-resistance, making it a comprehensive diver’s watch suited to the most demanding conditions.
Something of a signature in the contemporary DEFY line, the dial features a geometric pattern of engraved four-pointed stars. Available in black and blue with matching ceramic bezels, the metallic dials feature a sunburst finish, with rays emanating from the applied ZENITH star at 12 o’clock. The date at 3 o’clock is colour-matched to the dial.
Legibility is a key factor in the DEFY Extreme Diver - and it shows. The dial’s oversized hands and applied hour markers feature three different pigments of “X1” grade Super-LumiNova with light emissions in blue, green and orange, making it easy to distinguish between the functions (hours, minutes and seconds). The bright orange accents are a nod to historical DEFY diver models.
The DEFY Extreme Diver is powered by the El Primero 3620-SC automatic high-frequency manufacture calibre with 60 hours power reserve, visible through a sapphire display back - an uncommon feature among diver’s watches. This version of El Primero features a paramagnetic escapement with key components in non-metallic silicon.
Completing the DEFY Extreme Diver is its titanium three-link bracelet as well as two supplied straps. The first additional strap is in FKM rubber, matching the dial colour with a Cordura-effect texture that features vents on the side, allowing water to pass through. In line with ZENITH’s HORIZ-ON initiative to reduce the brand’s environmental impact and produce more sustainably, the DEFY Extreme Diver also comes with an extra-long strap made of recycled fishing nets, intended to be worn over a wetsuit. It features specific end-pieces to pass the single-piece strap through and under the case for a secure fit.
The DEFY Extreme Diver with blue and black dials are available from all ZENITH boutiques and authorized retailers around the world.

These are the most contemporary looking dive watches on the market right now. Very refreshing design details. The overall package is as high quality as it gets and the antimagnetic shock resistant EP movement is a real power house. Rock solid piece perfect for aquatic adventures. Yes it’s not for the office guy ‘desk diving’ at his computer it’s meant to be worn surfing, swimming or diving deep under the waves. Can’t wait to check these bad boys out in the metal. Zenith showing the competition a clean pair of heels at W&W24. Go Zenith!! So cool.

[@GiacomoTravaglione]

I would say along with the Vacheron Overseas GMT in green, the Portugieser in Horizon Blue and the JLC Duometre, Zenith is amongst the top releases with this new diving line! Love the strap exchange system and the courage to still show the movement for the compromise of a bit more thickness. Bravo Zenith! Also a great thank you for the in-depth coverage of W&W to WatchAdvisor, you guys have been killing it compared to all other magazines at this years' event.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Yes in a few weeks...

[@Jungleman707]

Alexander, I love your videos. It would be great to see the new blue Patek worldtimer because I don’t understand how it works (not that I can afford one 😂) and especially the new Doxa 200t to compare the new sunburst dials and size to the classic 300t. Did you know the 300t is 1200m waterproof? Quite a beast at a bargain price (I have the Carribean)

[@WatchAdvisor]

The PP Worldtimer we could film was a non working sample... we didn't film the Doxa watches... the weren't exhibiting at Watches and Wonders at PalExpo

[@Jungleman707]

I love both these watches, gorgeous colors and hot designs and beautiful movements, Akexander thanks for making this video so we can get a close-up view, your watch-focussed interview format is the best. Zenith is definitely on a roll! I feel the titanium one is too expensive, I wonder how a brand dares to price above Rolex Submariner the king of divers! Gotta have balls. 😂 - I am currently enjoying the gorgeous PO Summer Blue and its ‘only’ 7k 😂😂

I’m curious.. is that revival a limited edition? If it isn’t, why did they not decide to do that as they have done in the past?

[@WatchAdvisor]

I don't remember... to much information the last days... did Main say it is a limited edition?

[@suwaidi]

@@WatchAdvisor no I believe this time it isn’t a limited edition. The previous Defy revival release ref: A3642 was a limited edition (250 units made), I’m only wondering why they took this business approach previously and not with the recent revival release.

When i plan to buy watches, the most important measurement i want to know is the lug-to-lug. For my wrist size the ideal measurement is between 48 to 51mm as the max. Beyond that size it wont consider buying. Watch company should include this measurement on their spec.

Great strap change system which follows in the footsteps of the Vacheron Overseas. Too bad about the thickness though, over 15mm is a deal breaker for me.

[@bdegrds]

When someone says something is a deal breaker without ever even trying it on was never every going to be a customer under any circumstance, you can clearly see the bubble crystal is probably around 2mm of that thickness.

[@bdegrds]

[@RuZgAr____]

The Zenith A3642, which this new defy line takes the case and bezel shapes from, debuted in 1969, which is three years before AP came out with the royal oak. zenith is also one of the progenitors of the automatic chronograph, predating rolex’s own in-house auto chronograph by more than three whole decades (and being the daytona’s base movement for 12 years before that). so which brands are actually the homages here? 🤔

I generally like Zenith watches, but I’m sorry those 3 models (well 2) just don’t do it for me at all. Considering what other divers are available in that price segment I can’t see them being a success for Zenith. Far too expensive as well even taking into account the 5Hz larger one.

Thanks for the great content. Water Resistance vs Waterproof. Does it matter if the Defy diver is water resistant and not waterproof? My Submariner is waterproof. So it's possible to use that terminology. Should I assume the Defy is not truly waterproof?

Water-resistance and waterproof is the same This Zenith is up to 600 meters/1969 feet waterproof and/or the case resists water pressure up to 600 meters/1969 feet
