Zenith Defy Extreme E Titanium

About This Watch

The Zenith Defy Extreme E Titanium is born from Zenith's partnership with Extreme E, the groundbreaking electric off-road racing series that competes in some of the planet's most remote and environmentally threatened locations. This 45mm titanium chronograph is designed to withstand the harshest conditions while delivering the precision of the El Primero 9004 movement. The caliber beats at 36,000 vph, enabling 1/10th of a second chronograph measurement, and its open-worked architecture is visible through the skeleton dial. The microblasted titanium case provides exceptional durability while keeping weight remarkably low at just 110 grams — lighter than many 40mm steel watches. The rubber bezel inlay and Velcro over-strap system are direct concessions to the watch's extreme sport DNA, ensuring it stays firmly on the wrist during high-G maneuvers. With 200 meters of water resistance, this is also the most rugged watch in the Defy lineup. The 50-hour power reserve is adequate for a weekend away from a watch winder, and the COSC certification confirms chronometric precision. The Defy Extreme E is for those who want an uncompromising tool watch with El Primero's legendary high-frequency movement. It makes a bold statement at 45mm but wears smaller than the numbers suggest thanks to the lightweight titanium construction and ergonomic case design.
