Inspired by the iconic Defy diver’s watch from 1969, the Defy Revival Diver Shadow captures the essence of timeless craftsmanship while embracing modern advancements in watchmaking. Crafted in a faceted 37 mm microblasted titanium case, this watch is designed not only to impress visually but also to withstand the rigors of exploration.

Water Resistance and Durability

One of the standout features of the Defy Revival is its exceptional water resistance, rated at 600 meters. This level of durability makes it the perfect companion for diving enthusiasts and adventurous spirits alike. The unidirectional rotating bezel, complemented by a striking yellow-tinted sapphire insert, enhances its functionality while adding a pop of color to its robust design.

Style and High Performance

The black and yellow dial boasts luminescent hour, minute, and center seconds hands and markers, ensuring clarity and visibility in challenging conditions. A small date window is blended into the minutes/seconds track at 4:30, at a 45-degree angle. Like the date, the crown is at 4:30, not at the traditonal 3 o’clock position.

At the heart of the Defy Revival lies the Elite 670 automatic manufacture movement, beating at 4Hz (not Zenith’s typical 5Hz), and offering a 50-hour power reserve. Whether you’re navigating underwater or simply enjoying life on land, this timepiece promises to keep you on schedule with style.

The Zenith Defy Revival Diver Shadow (Ref. 97.A3648.670/21.M3648) retails for $8,200. Learn more at Zenith.
