Zenith Defy Zero G
When we saw the Zenith Defy Lab last year, we were all astounded by the depth of its mechanical marvellousness. I mean, you don’t see a 15Hz watch every day. So, it could be easily assumed that it was the Defy collection’s flagship. But with a very limited run, it is difficult to keep calling the Lab a true flagship.
The Gravity Control serves as an imperturbable housing for the regulation device of the watch (the tourbillon). It keeps it horizontal all the time, no matter what the wearer is doing. Just like in its practical inspiration, marine chronometers, it is always at a constant and horizontal working position, so the balance wheel beats at the same stable rate. Now, you probably remember that the Zenith Colomb watches featuring the gyroscope were humongous. Fortunately, Zenith has re-engineered the system so it is now just one-third as large as it was before and fits into a 44mm case.
The Zenith Defy Zero G is available in either titanium or rose gold and on either an alligator-leather and rubber strap or a bracelet. A true looker.
