A mysterious phenomenon in the world of watchmaking has descended upon us. ZENITH introduces a groundbreaking and conceptual iteration of its iconic 1/100th of a second chronograph, transformed into a mirroring camouflage: Behold the DEFY Extreme Mirror.
This avant-garde timepiece represents the epitome of ultramodern camouflage. A monolithic entity that reflects all light and colors, yet possesses no colors of its own. Its geometrically striking form is meticulously finished to seamlessly blend into its surroundings. Operating at an exceptionally high frequency rate, the DEFY Extreme line not only draws inspiration from the elements but is also designed to adapt and merge with them. With the DEFY Extreme Mirror, ZENITH ventures into an entirely new expression of its most rugged chronograph to date, creating an illusion that blurs the boundaries between reality and our perception of the environment.
Wrapped in an air of mystery and fascination, the DEFY Extreme Mirror resembles a UFO that has silently descended to our planet. Its fully mirror-polished metal exterior reflects the earth, sky, and horizon without any distortion. Paradoxically, the DEFY Extreme Mirror is simultaneously attention-grabbing and stealthy. It doesn’t attempt to conceal itself in its surroundings; instead, it completely blends in by reflecting its gleaming surface. The highly angular case and integrated bracelet are meticulously crafted from stainless steel, then mirror-polished all over to achieve a chrome-like appearance.
The mirroring effect extends beyond the case to the open multi-layered dial, featuring a central element in sapphire crystal with a metallic mirrored finish that is both translucent and reflective. The 1/100th of a second chronograph scale incorporates satin-brushed metallic elements, ensuring readability while maintaining the fluid, all-metal theme.
Partially visible through the open dial and the sapphire case back is the world’s fastest automatic high-frequency chronograph calibre in production. It offers 1/100th of a second time measurements through two independent escapements, beating at rates of 5Hz (36,000 VpH) for the timekeeping part and 50Hz (360,000 VpH) for the chronograph function. In the DEFY Extreme Mirror, the star-shaped winding rotor is finished in a silvery-grey metallic tone to harmonize with the case and dial elements.
Completing the distinctive appearance of this intriguing timepiece are the supplied durable black Velcro strap and rubber strap, easily interchangeable with the steel bracelet using the quick strap-change mechanism on the back of the case.
The DEFY Extreme Mirror is now available at ZENITH physical and online boutiques, as well as authorized retailers worldwide.
