Zenith El Primero Defy 21 Carbon is equipped with a partially skeletonized dial. Featuring the thematic details of the Defy 21 model family, the dial hosts a black hour/minute scale and sub-counters with contrasting white fonts that match nicely with the anthracite finished movement components to provide a sporty and industrial image. The red accents in the power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock and central second hands adds some spice to this monochrome color palette.

The new model comes in a modern Defy El Primero 21 style case with a diameter of 44mm and a height of 14.5mm. Made of forged carbon material, the case is equipped with anti-glare coated sapphire crystals on both sides and is water resistant to 100 meters / 10 bars, which is more than enough for a mechanical sports chronograph. The case is accompanied with a carbon case back as well as a carbon winding crown and a pair of chronograph pushers.
