Zenith Watches

Description

The sapphire-cased version of the Defy Zero-G, which debuted in 2018 in precious-metal cases that were slightly smaller (44 mm), is outfitted with Zenith?s in-house-developed Gravity Control mechanism, in which the regulating organ is fixed to a gimbal that is perpetually in a flat position regardless of the watch?s rotation. That original mechanism has been redesigned with a new architecture that allows for an even more open display within the transparent case. The off-centered hours-and-minutes subdial is handcrafted from a combination of meteorite and aventurine glass and lies in the center of a miniature painting in which Mars serves as the small seconds subdial. A power reserve indicator sits at 3 o?clock, and the back of the Gravity Control device?s module, when it is in view, reveals a cratered texture mimicking the surface of the moon. The celestially inspired finish, in which blue tones contrast with metallic gray chamfers and white speckled stars, can also be found on the Gravity mechanism?s cylindrical container, which is Inspired by a historical marine chronometer.
