Zenith Defy Chroma II Black & White Ceramic

Zenith introduces the Defy Chroma II, an electrifying duo of watches in white or black ceramic, building upon their recent ventures into technical and contemporary design. Known for their high-frequency El Primero chronograph movement, Zenith is expanding its horizons. The Defy Chroma II, comprising two limited edition models, follows last year's colorful release, now offering both black and white ceramic options.

Technically, these new models retain the same foundation as the original Chroma. What sets these new versions apart is the choice of materials - matte white ceramic or polished black ceramic. The rainbow theme continues with a twist. The black ceramic version highlights primary colors, while the white ceramic edition emphasizes blues and pinks.

Powering these timepieces is the El Primero 9004 automatic movement, boasting twin escapements and barrels. It operates at 5Hz for the timekeeping escapement and an astonishing 50Hz for the chronograph escapement, enabling precise 1/100th of a second timing. With a 50-hour power reserve and 53 jewels, it's chronometer-certified by TIME LAB.

The models are limited to 500 pieces each.
