The Defy Extreme by Zenith reaffirms its modern and non-conformist soul in the new Mirror version that plays on mirror surfaces to reflect light and colours but without being coloured. At first glance it seems almost evanescent, instead it is an extremely resistant chronograph with water resistance of 200 metres.
The 45 mm diameter angular case and integrated bracelet are made of steel and then polished to a mirror finish to achieve a chrome effect. Every flat surface, every facet, every bevel is completely polished and shiny.
The chrome effect of the Defy Extreme Mirror is also echoed on the open, multi-layered dial, which features a central sapphire crystal element with a translucent yet reflective metallic mirror finish.
The chronograph scale is characterised by satin-finished metal elements that make it easier to read while maintaining a fluid, all-metal appearance. The skeletonisation of the dial allows a partial glimpse of the El Primero 9004 high-frequency automatic chronograph calibre.
Movement capable of measuring to 1/100th of a second accuracy thanks to two independent escapements beating at 36,000 vibrations per hour for the watch and 360,000 for the chronograph. Matching the case and dial elements is the star-shaped oscillating weight, finished in a silver-grey metallic tone.
The bracelet is easily replaceable, via the integrated quick-change mechanism on the back of the case, with the two straps supplied: one Velcro and one rubber, both black.
