Inspired by the revered Defy diver's watch from 1969, the breathtaking Defy Revival Diver Shadow showcases a sublime fusion of timeless artistry and uncompromising modern technique.

Drawing inspiration from the historic charm of the Defy diver’s watch of 1969, the Defy Revival Diver Shadow is a masterclass in capturing the spirit of timeless craftsmanship. All the while, it confidently steps into the contemporary watchmaking era through the embrace of modern advancements.

Crafted skillfully within a faceted 37 mm microblasted titanium case, this watch is designed to leave a lingering impression. Its intricate detailing isn’t merely for visual appeal, but also to withstand the rigors of exploration and adventure. One of its standout features lies in its superb water resistance, remarkable at a 600-meter rating. Thus, its endurance makes it the ideal companion for diving enthusiasts and adventurous spirits.

A minute detail, a small date window, is subtly incorporated into the minutes/seconds track at 4:30 – a charming 45-degree angle diversion from conventional designs. Similarly, the crown sits at 4:30 instead of the traditional 3 o’clock position. The Elite 670 automatic manufacture movement forms the beating heart of the Defy Revival, pulsating at a 4Hz rhythm.

Whether the call of the day is navigating underwater depths or simply soaking in life on land, the Zenith Defy Revival Diver Shadow promises to accompany you with unwavering style and performance. Retailing at $8,200, with the reference number 97.A3648.670/21.M3648, this exceptional timepiece is a testament to the enduring allure of legendary horological artistry.
