Zenith releases a new rainbow-dappled Defy Extreme

Zenith likes color, and the new Defy Extreme Chroma pair proves it. If you remember the earlier Defy 21 Chroma pieces in white and black ceramic, you know the basic idea. Take a very serious high frequency chrono, then light it up with a full spectrum of color. This time the brand moves the concept into its bigger, tougher Defy Extreme case, and limits each version to 100 pieces.

You get two models. One comes in microblasted titanium with a black microblasted titanium bezel and guards. The other mixes titanium with white ceramic elements. Both share the same 45 millimeter case size, 15.4 millimeter thickness, and 51 millimeter lug to lug. On paper that is a big, heavy presence. On the wrist it will not vanish under a cuff. This is a Defy Extreme after all.

But the coolest thing is under the hood.
