Zenith teams up with its Mexican partner Park Lane for an exclusive edition of the Defy El Primero 21 in black and gold.

Taking place during October 15th to 17th at the St. Regis Mexico City, the Salón Internacional Alta Relojería (SIAR) continues to be the most prominent and comprehensive annual event for watch-lovers in Latin America. This year, Zenith is showcasing its latest creations in the Defy range, including a special Mexico-exclusive series, the Defy El Primero 21 Park Lane Edition.

The Defy El Primero 21 Park Lane Edition is made exclusively for the Mexican market with Zenith's local partner Park Lane and is limited to just 60 pieces. With boldly contrasting tones of matte black and gold, this country exclusive-edition reinterprets the modern lines of the Defy in matte black ceramic, while the 1/100th of a second chronograph movement is treated in a glistening gold tone that recalls the significance of the precious metal in Mexican culture over the centuries.

The faceted black ceramic case and bezel of the Defy El Primero 21 Park Lane edition is also strikingly different from standard models. Instead of a mix of satin-brushed and polished surfaces, the case is entirely finished in a matte sandblasted treatment that absorbs light and allows the open dial and movement to stand out in a unique manner. 

For this exclusive Park Lane series, the high-frequency 1/100th of a second El Primero 21 chronograph calibre is given a special decorative treatment, with the top bridges of the movement finished in a glistening gold tone. The automatic high-frequency chronograph calibre can be admired from the engraved display back.

From the open dial, one can admire the skeleton architecture of the innovative El Primero 21 1/100th of a second chronograph calibre, with the main plate retaining its grey colour and topped with golden bridges. Above the high-frequency movement, the black and gold accents continue to the open dial, from the hour markers and chronograph counters to the hands and power reserve indicator. 

The Defy El Primero 21 Park Lane comes with a black rubber strap with a cordura effect, as well as a black rubber strap with a black alligator element in the centre.
