Through the DEFY collection, ZENITH has become a pioneer in combining technological advancements with modern and artistic aesthetics. Zenith continues to stun watch enthusiasts with the new DEFY 21 Chroma II limited editions. Following the instant success of the DEFY 21 Chroma unveiled during LVMH Watch Week in 2022, ZENITH has crafted two distinctive editions of Chroma II in black and white ceramic. Each edition embraces different tones within the color spectrum, with the black ceramic version focusing on primary colors, while the white ceramic highlights brighter blues and pinks.
The ceramic cases create a mesmerizing, refracted rainbow effect that extends to the open dial, hands, and movement. Each detail, down to the crown’s rubber grip ring and the Cordura-effect rubber straps’ stitching, sticks to the dial’s color arrangement. The open dial showcases raised chronograph counters that complement the cases’ colors, beneath which the beautifully decorated movement is visible. Zenith’s in-house El Primero 21 automatic high-frequency chronograph movement operates at extraordinary frequencies of 5Hz and 50Hz for peak performance and precision. The DEFY Chroma II’s availability is as unique as its design, with the white ceramic edition limited to 500 pieces at authorized retailers and the black ceramic edition exclusively at ZENITH boutiques for $15,600.
