Shine, shine: replica Zenith watches ends 2023 with DEFY Extreme Mirror

Another award-winning watch from the DEFY collection.

Since December 26, 2022, I have been making a list of watches that I would like to see under a tree. Two of the strongest contenders come from Zenith’s versatile DEFY series.

First, I fell in love with the DEFY Skyline Skeleton when it launched at LVMH Watch Week in January.

Now, just in time for gift-giving season, another DEFY has been added to the wish list, as Zenith launches the DEFY Extreme Mirror – a timepiece that is in many ways the opposite of its predecessor, but also a distillation. The angular architecture seen on the Skyline Skeleton and Revival Shadow first caught my eye. best luxury watches

The genius of the DEFY collection’s sporty-chic design is that it can transform without losing its integrity. For example, compared to the Revival Shadow, which has a matte black textured titanium case, the new Extreme Mirror has a highly polished stainless steel surface that almost feels like its mirror image.

However, when comparing the Extreme Mirror with the Skyline Skeleton, you can easily spot the similarities as both feature cutout displays. Still, even with eye-catching features like a skeleton dial, the emphasis on structure in a skeleton watch gives it an industrial look. Meanwhile, the Extreme Mirror’s multi-layered metal dial is translucent yet reflective, giving it a futuristic feel. replica Patek Philippe Watches

Additionally, the dial of the Extreme Mirror is easier to read than the Skyline Skeleton because its chrome surface is balanced by the satin-brushed elements of the 1/100-second chronograph scale.

Zenith calls the DEFY Extreme Mirror the “ultimate, ultra-modern camouflage watch” because it reflects all light and colors without a hue of its own. (Additionally, it comes with two interchangeable straps—a one-piece strap made of mirror-polished stainless steel and a durable black Velcro quick-change strap and rubber band—that gives owners Another way to change its appearance.) high quality cheap watches

Reflection
As we look back on 2023, Extreme Mirror also provides an opportunity to look back at how we originally viewed timekeeping.

This is where DEFY’s geometric design specifications come into play. Its mirror-polished surface reflects and refracts. Measuring 45 mm in diameter (and water-resistant up to 20 ATM), the Extreme Mirror will never completely disappear, but its chameleon-like abilities make this watch a paradox: instead of being integrated into the watch, it becomes an extension of it . wearer.

The mirrors may look sophisticated, but another admirable quality of the DEFY collection is that they are designed for everyday wear. DEFY Extreme Mirror uses the El Primero 9004, Zenith’s most rugged chronograph to date, which uses two independent escapements to provide 1/100-second time measurement. The chronograph part vibrates at a frequency of 5Hz (36,000 VpH). Functions at 50Hz (360,000 VpH).

The movement's star-shaped winding rotor, with a power reserve of approximately 50 hours, is partially visible through the open dial and sapphire case back. Its star-shaped winding rotor comes in a silvery-gray metallic tone that matches the case and dial elements. replica Audemars Piguet
