Zenith launches Defy Classic Carbon

Super light, super cool, and very expensive.

The Defy series is a sporty replica watches for sale with a modern sporty and mechanical style. Previously, it could only be made of most traditional materials, such as titanium, ceramic or gold. But the basic model now has an upgraded version of Defy Classic Carbon, which has a carbon fiber composite case, and more interestingly, a bracelet made entirely of carbon fiber composite.

The lightness and strength of carbon composites are ideal in engineering, which is why they are used in aircraft fuselages and Formula One cars. In watchmaking, this material is useful because of its lightness, but it is even more useful for its unique appearance. It is widely used in watch cases and sometimes even in movements, so it is no longer as novel as before. This is not Zenith's first carbon composite material case. The 2013 El Primero lightweight car received the title, and the El Primero Defy 21 is currently in the catalog.

Therefore, Defy Classic Carbon is not a breakthrough, but it does look good. The random use of carbon fiber composite material is very suitable for design, and the high-tech organic random pattern of composite material is also very suitable on the hollow dial, which brings a sporty appearance, which is the best of all basic Defy best replica watches review.

The version equipped with a carbon fiber bracelet naturally has the best appearance because of its coherence, uninterrupted aesthetics and rarity-although carbon fiber composite cases are common, there are very few cases where bracelets are integrated into the material.

The brand-new Defy bracelet weighs only 65 grams, which is only half the weight of similar titanium watches, perhaps one third of steel, light weight and undoubtedly easy to wear.

However, while aesthetics and weight reduction, the price increase is also very large, compared to Zenith's traditional price position, the increase is small. The brand particularly likes vintage chronographs at reasonable prices. The price of the rubber strap is $11,600, which is 70% more expensive than the same model of titanium alloy .

Except for the case and bracelet materials, Defy Classic Carbon is almost the same as the standard model. Inside the movement is an elite movement, which is a Zenith gravity self-winding movement. It has a history of nearly 30 years and can explain its relatively short 48-hour power reserve.high quality replica watches

Here, it is skeletonized, and its bridge and base plate are plated with ruthenium, forming a dark gray appearance. To pay homage to the Jenith logo, the movement features a star-shaped bottom plate that forms the dial and echoes the star-shaped rotor on the back of the dial. The six o'clock on the dial is the date display. It is small and hollow, suitable for design, but not easy to recognize.

Through the star arms on the dial, the details are clear at a glance, but it is worth noting: the silicon escape wheel at 10 o'clock. The escape wheel is bright, reflective purple-blue, adding a touch to the all-gray dial, and it also reflects one of the more substantial upgrades to Elite.
