    Zenith WoW go large!

    Zenith release the Defy Extreme - adding shoulders and angles to the Defy. Measures in at 45mm and now wrt to 200m.

    200m?

    Looks different. Not 100% sure on it for some reason I can’t quite place from a quick look.
    It's just a matter of time...

    Looks like Bvlgari and Linde Werdelin had a baby...

    Which is not actually entirely a bad thing , but not what I'd go to Zenith for...

    To me, it's the chrono pushers extending out quite far from the pusher base to level with the crown that are jarring. It makes the watch look quite unbalanced to the right.

    That being said, I suspect it'll wear smaller like Martyn's previous Defy which definitely didn't look or feel as hefty as the dimensions suggested.

    Fixed the wrt - sorry yes 200m - new feature is a quick release bracelet and supply of 2 straps in the package aka VC overseas. I need to see these in person and see the lug-lug - the 45mm may be wearable on 17cm wrist. Some interesting case finishes are available too.

    I think the movement is the same as the Defy?

    I like it but something screams 'this'll be expensive'. Like above £13k expensive

    Luckily they turn up at nearly 50% off MRP sooner or later - it’s a waiting game

    I like it and particularly like the quick release strap bracelet options that come with the watch, I had the older Zenith Defy Xtreme 1000m which was quirky but a bit of a mess of a design but that looks impressive. Zenith still have some work to do to convince me their watches are as robust as they describe however....

    Changed from a round bezel to a dodecagon which adds to the similarity to the Royal Oak.

    Plus the hands are massive...great for the oldies but I’m not sure

    AP want their Offshore pushers back. I wouldn't be spending that much on a homage.

    That works for me! My eyes are not getting any younger. I think I may try and see one when they are available for viewing.
