ZENITH FOCUSES ON REFLECTIONS WITH THE DEFY EXTREME MIRROR

Posted by lifata on December 20th, 2023

Zenith had already asserted its sporty side through its DEFY collection: robust watches with an assertive design associated with movements of great precision and offering avant-garde materials. After using titanium, ceramic, and even proposing a concept with rainbow indexes, the brand is this time highlighting the mirror polished effect. Zoom in on this new Zenith DEFY Extreme Mirror.

The stainless steel case of this Zenith fake watch is extremely well crafted. The polishing is exemplary, each angle of the watch reflects the light and the whole, although massive with its 45mm diameter, gives a united and light appearance. The sapphire crystal goes perfectly with this impression of constant reflection. Everything is completed by a screw-down crown, engraved with the manufacture's star, ensuring water resistance to 200 meters.

This new watch displays an exceptional mirror appearance thanks to its openwork dial and mirror-polished subdials. It is nevertheless a chronograph with a 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock, a 60-second counter at 6 o'clock, and a small seconds counter at 9 o'clock. Everything is topped by a power reserve indicator at 12 o'clock. The sub-dial finishes are of high quality: the central polish reflects the light, while the contours are surrounded by a circular brushed finish with black markings. The monochrome of this watch almost tends towards the camouflage watch, emphasizing the uniqueness and discretion of the piece. The icing on the cake is that the sub-dials are stepped and openwork, allowing you to admire the workings of the movement. Everything is surrounded by a flange graduated from 0 to 100, corresponding to 1/100th of a second calculated by the central hand, also decorated with the star, a specialty of high-frequency movements.

And let’s talk about this movement! It represents what is best at Zenith: the El Primero 21 caliber. Made up of 293 parts, this high-frequency caliber of 36,000 vibrations per hour (5Hz) allows the central hand to make one revolution of the dial in one second, thus calculating the hundredth of a second. The sapphire crystal back of the replica watch allows us to admire the magnificent caliber, in particular the attention to detail given to the oscillating weight in the shape of a skeletonized star. The power reserve, for its part, is more than honorable with 50 hours of autonomy.

The watch comes with three straps: a two-link stainless steel bracelet with a butterfly folding clasp, a black rubber strap that looks great, and to further accentuate its sporty side, then a black Velcro strap that is ideal for any situation. And you can easily switch from one to the other thanks to Zenith's quick change system.

With this creation, Zenith replica shows that it still manages to diversify and offer exceptional watches in a constantly evolving watchmaking landscape. We can bet that this timepiece is a success on the part of the manufacturer.
