REMIX
Hit the decks! The manufacture showcases the second exclusive opus stemming from its partnership with the world-renowned British electro music DJ and producer.
Following on from the Defy 21 Carl Cox Edition (2020), Zenith pursues its collaboration with the famous DJ, aficionado of hardcore sounds and rave parties. This time round, the manufacture rolls out a new 100-piece limited series, the Defy Extreme Carl Cox. What’s so special about it? Whilst the initial model mixed color and texture in an up-to-the-minute scenography, this watch is infused with the stylistic codes of the 80s. As such, its 45 mm-diameter case combines matte-finished steel and yellow gold, which features on the dodecagonal bezel and chronograph pusher protectors. Inside this two-tone adornment, the hour and minute hands along with the short-cycle time measurement ones hover over a skeletonized dial boasting a tinged sapphire crystal and vinyl-record-shaped counters. The data contrasts perfectly with this dusky backdrop, encircled by a tachymetric scale. As everything is topped with Super-LumiNova® paint, data readability is optimal under any conditions of light.
This edition is worn on an integrated metal bracelet. Two black options, a Velcro®-attached one and a rubber one are included in the watch box. Time data is driven by an El Primero caliber assembled using some 293 components. Some of these are unveiled through the sapphire-crystal caseback, in particular the star-shaped oscillating weight. This selfwinding movement delivers 50 hours of power reserve. Its 36,000 vibrations/hour high-frequency means it can measure time to 1/100th of a second. Just to keep the beat!
