The Zenith Defy El Primero 21 launched in 2017 heralded a new chapter in time measurement, while the Defy Zero G continues writing the future of watchmaking in 2018 with its downsized and optimised gyroscopic “Gravity Control” model. After a first special edition presented in New York City last year, American rapper and passionate watch-lover Swizz Beatz is once again honoured by the issue of three new limited-edition Defy models.
Known for his eclectic and discerning style choices and his mature appreciation of watchmaking, Swizz Beatz had already welcomed the December 2017 NYC launch of a Defy El Primero 21 six-piece Edition Unique. Aficionados are now being treated to three colourful and appealing new special editions.
Just three of the Defy Zero G Swizz Beatz will be issued, featuring a 44mm-diameter brushed titanium case framing an openworked dial featuring orange accents on the hands and hour-markers picking up the bright colour featured on the crown ring and the vivid alligator leather coating of the white rubber strap. Both the latter and the bezel are inscribed with all or part of an inspirational quote from the music visionary: “Never let people tell you what you can’t do, because sky’s not the limit, it’s just the view”.
The same maxim is featured on the two Defy El Primero 21 editions: one a 25-piece white ceramic interpretation, and the other an exclusive five-unit gem-studded white gold variation fully set with 288 spectacular round diamonds and complemented by the baguette-cut diamonds on the bezel.
