An Appreciation of the Zenith Defy El Primero 21 Cool Watch

　　In 1969,Zenithhaving become the recognised king of high-frequency chronographs with the traditional El Primero movement, at 2017 Baselworld, Zenith drew inspiration from its history and identified new trends to launch a major creation—the Defy El Primero 21 watch, continuing its journey in high-precision watchmaking. From tenths of a second to hundredths of a second, this watch represents a massive leap in both performance and design. (Model reference: 24.9000.9004/78.R582). Let us now appreciate the coolness of this watch.

　　Introduction to the Zenith Defy El Primero 21 Watch

　　Ceramic aluminium case

　　The case, crafted from ceramic aluminium, has a diameter of 44 mm. The skeletonised dial embodies a contemporary mechanical aesthetic, and through the sapphire crystal, the open mechanical movement is fully visible, which aligns perfectly with the signature aesthetic of Zenith's new collection.

　　Skeletonised dial

　　The dial is complex yet simple, with the seemingly intricate mechanical operation serving as a 'decoration' for existing functions. The 9 o'clock position features a small seconds hand, while the central hundredth-of-a-second chronograph hand rotates around the perimeter scale. The 30-minute chronograph sub-dial is located at the 3 o'clock position, the 6 o'clock position displays the seconds, and the power reserve indicator for the chronograph is at the 12 o'clock position. The chronograph sub-dials feature the two colours from the legendary 1969 chronograph: blue and black-grey.

　　Hand display

　　The tail end of the chronograph sweep-second hand features a star emblem, while the large baton hour and minute hands are luminescent, bringing together the signature identifying characteristics of the El Primero Speedmaster.

　　Crown

　　The crown on the side of the case is also engraved with a star emblem, and can be manually wound in two directions via the crown: winding for the chronograph function is clockwise, and winding for the watch is anticlockwise. Rotating the crown 25 turns is sufficient to fully wind the chronograph mainspring barrel.

　　Open case back movement display

　　This watch is equipped with the new COSC-certified El Primero movement, with a chronograph frequency of 360000 vibrations per hour, ensuring accuracy to one-hundredth of a second while consuming ten times more energy than the original. The standard timekeeping gear train uses the iconic El Primero 5 Hz frequency and provides a power reserve of 50 hours for daily timekeeping. The high performance of this movement is reflected in its new regulating mechanism, patented chronograph control device, and graphene-based composite hairspring, which offers magnetic resistance far exceeding 15000 Gauss. Furthermore, the star-cut automatic oscillating weight is aesthetically pleasing.

　　Strap and clasp

　　The alligator leather strap and the pin buckle, which also features the brand's signature five-pointed star emblem, provide a perfect finishing touch to the design of this timepiece.
