A new version of the Zenith Defy Extreme Diver, now with a silvery-white dial, stands out as a serious tool watch within Zenith’s Defy collection. Known for its robust, adventure-ready designs dating back to 1969, the Defy line includes models capable of withstanding extreme environments.

This version is an addition to the earlier launched black and blue version of the Zenith Defy Extreme Diver. And it is only the dial that differs. So, this new one also has a 42.5-millimeter titanium case and black ceramic rotating bezel.

High-end diver specs

Designed for professional use, this diver also includes a helium escape valve for saturation diving. Its bezel, filled with super-luminova, ensures clear visibility in dark or murky conditions, and the oversized screw-down crown, protected by guards, makes it easier to operate while wearing gloves. The silver-toned dial, inspired by historical Defy designs, features a four-pointed star pattern. A signature of this collection.

Oversized, rhodium-plated hands and markers are treated with three shades of super-luminova, glowing in blue, green, and yellow for easy underwater readability. Bright orange accents add visibility and recall earlier Defy diver’s watches, where color contrast was critical for legibility in low-light conditions. The dial also includes a date display at 3 o’clock, matching the dial color for a clean, cohesive look.

The Zenith Defy Extreme Diver Silvery-white Dial has a power reserve of 60 hours

This Zenith Defy Extreme Diver Silvery-white Dial is powered by the Zenith caliber El Primero 3620 SC automatic movement, boasting a 60-hour power reserve. Visible through a sapphire case back, this movement showcases a new star-shaped oscillating weight with satin finishes, adding a refined visual touch.

The El Primero line, known for its high-frequency accuracy since 1969, reinforces Zenith’s legacy in precision engineering. This particular caliber integrates a paramagnetic escapement, utilizing non-metallic silicon components. All for enhanced durability and magnetic resistance.

This Defy comes with three straps

The DEFY Extreme Diver has a full interchangeable strap system, adding versatility. It includes a titanium bracelet, a black FKM rubber strap with a Cordura-effect texture, and a white fabric strap.

Retailing at 10 to 12k, the Defy Extreme Diver positions itself in the competitive high-end diver’s watch market. In this price range, comparable models like the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M and Rolex Submariner offer similar functionality and brand recognition but with varying design focuses and materials.
