Zenith is a Swiss luxury watch company with over 150 years of history and a well-established reputation for innovation and craftsmanship. Founded in 1865 by Georges Favre-Jacot, Zenith pioneered the development of high-precision mechanical movements, becoming famous for its legendary El Primero movement, introduced in 1969, the first integrated high-frequency automatic chronograph. This attention to detail and technical perfection has earned Zenith numerous awards and accolades over the years, establishing itself as a benchmark in the watchmaking industry.
Each Zenith watch is an expression of style and innovation, designed to deliver impeccable performance and durability. The combination of Swiss watchmaking tradition and cutting-edge technology makes Zenith timepieces objects of desire for collectors and enthusiasts around the world. From classic designs to more modern models, each creation is crafted from the highest quality materials, ensuring a perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality. Zenith represents the ideal combination of heritage and avant-garde, for those seeking a watch that is a symbol of precision and refinement.
The Zenith Defy Rainbow is a striking sports watch that combines robust design with exceptional craftsmanship. Its 46.5 mm stainless steel case makes a bold statement, measuring 17.5 mm thick, yet feels surprisingly comfortable on the wrist. Zenith’s high-end engineering ensures this watch offers both style and functionality. The beautifully decorated unidirectional bezel pairs perfectly with the black dial, which features a rainbow effect that makes it truly unique.
The dial is meticulously designed, featuring a telemeter scale, prominent Arabic numerals and a date window. The red seconds hand, balanced with the iconic Zenith star, adds a touch of colour, while the subdials include a coloured 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock, a continuous seconds at 9 o'clock and a 12-hour indicator at 6 o'clock. Despite the variety of functions, the dial remains remarkably legible, combining practicality and aesthetics.
Through the sapphire crystal caseback, you can admire the El Primero caliber 4000 FC movement, a masterpiece of technical precision. This high-quality mechanism, composed of 326 components and 31 jewels, operates at an impressive frequency of 5Hz. It offers a power reserve of 55 hours and includes a flyback chronograph function, which allows the chronograph to be instantly restarted with a single press, without having to follow the traditional stop-reset-start sequence.
