ZENITH’s idea to express the notion of high-frequency precision through frequencies of light and colors was first brought to life with the DEFY 21 Ultraviolet in 2020. This year, the Swiss watchmaker now fully demonstrtates this concept with the DEFY 21 Ultra Colour box set.
Consisting of eight different iterations of the DEFY 21 and limited to only eight box sets, the Ultra Colour pieces are all made in entirely matte finished lightweight titanium, letting the chromatics from within shine through. The open dial features raised chronograph counters matching the grey tone of the case, beneath which vibrant metallic colours are applied in the movement.
The bridges as well as the oscillating rotor of the eight watches are monochromatically finished in eight different tones: Black, blue, violet, orange, pink, green, turquoise and khaki. The metallic tones shift with the light, boosting the sense of volume and dynamism of this exceptional vibrant series. The timepieces come with cordura-effect rubber straps that are made to match the colours of the movement.
Visible through the dial as well as the sapphire case back, the singular El Primero 21 automatic high-frequency 1/100th of a second chronograph features two independent regulating organs and gear trains for the timekeeping and chronograph functions, operating at frequencies of 5Hz (36’000 VpH) and 50Hz (360’000 VpH), respectively.
Luminous and transparent with an almost crystalline allure, the DEFY 21 Ultra Colour box set is available in a transparent acrylic presentation case, with an iridescent effect that refracts light to display different colours depending on the angle of the light. Each of the watches is engraved on the case back with a limited edition number out of 8, and each box set will feature watches that are numbered 1 through 8, rather than having the same number for all eight watches in a single box set.
The DEFY 21 Ultra Colour box set is made as a limited edition of only 8 examples and is available exclusively from ZENITH physical and online boutiques around the world.
