Zenith launches its most important edition Zenith El Primero 21

that DEFY El Primero 21 Wrist chronograph of the highest precision, equipped with a revolutionary movement that celebrates the twenty-first century of the chronograph caliber's solid legacy El Primero, which once again raises the level of performance in a uniquely designed package. Today's futuristic chronograph comes in its most amazing edition to date: Defy El Primero 21 Carbon.

An unprecedented high-performance caliber like the El Primero 21 deserves a contemporary design while remaining true to Zenith El Primero's legacy of superior precision. The geometry of the case is characterized by a mixture of straight lines and angles, perfectly complementing the massive geometry of the skeleton movement. The high-frequency chronograph is serially crafted in a lightweight and durable carbon-fibre case.

Precision with a futuristic design

Carbon fiber has a unique and special character. The high-tech composite material is lightweight, yet extremely durable. It is a statement while maintaining a subtle style. It plays with light and reveals a unique optical effect created by successive layers of randomly arranged carbon fibres, making each case particularly unique. The enchanting visual effect is subtle and edgy at the same time, giving the material a versatile and easy-to-wear feel. With this version of the DEFY El Primero 21, not only is the faceted case and round bezel made of carbon, but also the crown and chronograph triggers.

The DEFY El Primero 21 Carbon engineering is complemented by a choice of Warren: a black rubber strap, and a special rubber strap with carbon-effect carbon for the ultimate urban look.

A bolder style for a unique function

With another case of carbon, it is only natural that the movement and the dial be made to match the mysterious gravity of this material. For the first time in the DEFY El Primero 21, the cutting-edge chronograph caliber receives a hundredth of a second that operates at an unprecedented, revolutionary rate of 360 vibrations.

The watch (50 Hz) has a deep black treatment, allowing the shiny edges of the innovative skeleton movement system to shine through in the dark. The open dial also comes in black, but remains easy to read with contrasting white markings. Like the hour markers, the fixed hour, minute and seconds hands are multifaceted with dark ruthenium-coated black SuperLuminova that gives a subtle glow in the dark. Keeping the focus on the high-speed chronograph function, this model has central seconds and hundredths of a second markings on black hands with bright red tips. It's a look that embodies Zenith's new futuristic design, the design ethos of creating tomorrow's watches for the conscious watch aficionado of today's world.

ZENITHThe future of the Swiss watch industry

Since 1865, Zenith has been guided by originality, daring and a passion for pushing the boundaries of excellence, precision and innovation. Shortly after the brand was founded at Le Locle by inspirational watchmaker Georges Favre-Jacco, Zenith is known for the precision of its timepieces with which it has won 2333 stopwatch awards in its more than a century and a half of existence, an absolute record. Known for its legendary 1969 El Primero caliber, which enables short times to be measured with an accuracy of one tenth of a second, the manufacturer has since developed over 600 versions of the movement. Today, Zenith brings stunning new frontiers in horology, including one-tenth of a second with the Defy El Primero 21, and a whole new dimension in mechanical precision with the world's most accurate watch, the Defy Lab for the XNUMXst century. Stimulated by new relationships with a proud tradition of dynamic avant-garde thinking, Zenith is writing the future...and the future of Swiss watchmaking.
