The
Zenith Defy Classic Power Reserve Elite Gold & Steel watch is a sports timepiece of luxurious distinction. Showcasing an exclusive mechanical movement manufactured by Zenith within a strikingly crafted combination of stainless steel and 18K gold, the Defy Classic Power Reserve Elite Gold & Steel timepiece is impressive as both an object of fine watchmaking, and as a statement of elegant fashion. Rich detail distinguishes each aesthetic element of the Defy Classic Power Reserve Elite timepiece; the 43mm stainless steel case is given a rich brushed finish, as is the massive 18K rose gold unidirectional rotating bezel. The dial work is also sublime, displaying a fine hobnail-pattern guilloche decoration, and applied rose gold numerals and skeletonized hands. Despite the elegant, meticulous finish, this case is superbly engineered to protect the mechanism; the crown and caseback both screw down, ensuring a water-resistant seal all the way to a depth of 300 meters. The Zenith Defy Classic Power Reserve Elite Gold & Steel watch utilizes a fine self-winding movement which is conceived and manufactured by Zenith. The Elite 685 SC caliber is composed of 179 pieces, and has a fully-wound power reserve of approximately 55 hours, which can be clearly monitored by the power reserve indicator which appears on the dial. In addition, this movement also has a rapidly settable date display. The caseback is fitted with a pane of sapphire crystal, enabling a clear view of the finely decorated bridges and central winding rotor. Depending upon the look desired for the watch, the
Zenith Defy Classic Power Reserve Elite Gold & Steel watch can be ordered on a leather or rubber strap, or a matching bracelet in stainless steel and 18K rose gold. Both straps and bracelets feature a texture which matches the decorative pattern on the dial.
