For years, Zenith has been known for their pilot and chronograph models, but the Defy Extreme Diver fills a long-awaited gap, offering a robust and stylish option for underwater adventures. Marking a significant return to the dive watch scene, Zenith now unveils the Defy Extreme Diver.

The Defy Extreme Diver features a commanding 42.5mm x 15.5mm titanium case. This lightweight yet robust material tackles deep dives with ease, while remaining comfortable on the wrist. The brushed titanium finish complements its professional diving capabilities, and a unique fixed 12-sided bezel frames the unidirectional rotating ceramic bezel with luminous inlay for low-light readability.

The Defy Extreme Diver boasts a clear and functional dial. Choose from a captivating blue or classic black sunburst finish, both featuring the Defy collection’s star motif. Large, luminous hands and indices ensure readability in murky depths, while a vibrant orange chapter ring adds a splash of personality.

The Defy Extreme Diver is powered by Zenith’s El Primero 3620 SC automatic movement, known for its high-frequency (5Hz) operation for exceptional accuracy and a 60-hour power reserve.

The Defy Extreme Diver offers three straps: titanium bracelet, textured rubber strap, and unique recycled nylon NATO strap. All use a quick-release mechanism. The watch is priced at $11,300 USD.
