Defy Xtreme Stealth
Feb 23, 2008,05:20 AM
Inspired by the Stealth Bombers that no radar can detect, the Defy Stealth did not in fact go unnoticed when it took the Public Award at the Grand Prix de l’Horlogerie in Geneva. This year, ZENITH is pushing the boundaries even further, and presenting a new, even more extreme version. Cased entirely in black or grey titanium, this timepiece features an unexpectedly sporty design picked out in extreme colours, a matte red that highlights the balance-wheel bridge and the helical hand of the 30-minute counter.
Incorporating shock-resistant technology and ZENITHIUM bridges, the Defy Stealth includes the new Open Grande Date 4039 SX movement and an El Primero Chronograph with a 3-disk Grande Date, a unique, patented system.
Offered as a limited edition of 250 pieces in each colour, this futuristic timepiece cannot leave anyone unmoved. The future is now.

Defy Xtreme Tourbillon Zero-G

Finding the system that will do for wrist watches what the Tourbillon did for pocket watches is one of the great challenges of the 21 st Century. Since the beginning, the best watchmakers have tried to defy the effects of gravity, that sworn enemy of accu...

Thanks, SJX, for sharing. But I have some doubts for many years now about the direction taken by Zenith... This last watch is...well, I am ...speechless! LOL And not because I love it, or find it appealing. But, as always, tastes.... Best. Nicolas PS... I...
Nicolas, you are very ignorant

The rationale for the tourbillon is to ensure you can lead the Zenith lifestyle like this... " 300,000 Euros? Pfffft. My sunglasses cost 500,000 Euros!" And when you are not on your boat... You are getting ready to wage war on terror. This message has bee...
Damn, you're right, SJX!

I should have seen these pics before typing! That why I'm happy to learn each day! One more but last question: If I buy it, I will get the girls, the boat and the plane??? Not that expensive, finally.... I'm so ignorant... Best. Nicolas
Yes!

Since Zenith dares to quote Nietzsche...

... I may follow this noble example with another important quote of the great philosopher, that he might have said when looking at this interesting zenith tourbillon: "To forget one's purpose is the commonest form of stupidity." Regards, Marcus
