As of today, the new Defy Classic collection, first unveiled at Baselworld 2018, has started arriving at Zenith retailers and boutiques, and we now know the prices which were not initially announced.

Zenith Defy Titanium Skeleton 2018

The collection consists of two versions that come in a sleek 41 mm x 10.75 mm diameter ultra-light brushed titanium case (with polished accents on case flanks, bezel and bracelet center links). One has a blue sunburst dial and the other has a skeletonized dial, both are available in three different variations: rubber strap, alligator leather strap, or titanium bracelet.

A Zenith Elite caliber 670 powers hours, minutes, central seconds, and the date. The date display is unique in that it’s displayed via a large wheel that rotates around the outer edge of the movement, which looks particularly cool with the openworked dial.
