Zenith Limited Edition DEFY Zero-G and Defy Double Tourbillon
Zenith has unveiled two new pieces to the iconic Defy range. Firstly, the DEFY Zero-G Sapphire cops a new off-centred dial and is handcrafted in a mosaic of meteorite, aventurine glass and grand feu enamel on a gold base. According to Zenith, it depicts the red planet Mars on the small seconds, partially eclipsed by the hour and minute dial. The DEFY 21 Double Tourbillon Sapphire, on the other hand, is a nod to the universe and space exploration. In a cool move, some of the dial-side bridges are engraved with stars.
