Earlier this year at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2023, Zenith introduced its newly redesigned Pilot collection, a DEFY Skyline model boasting a modernistic design with a visually appealing and strikingly dark appearance as well as the DEFY Revival Shadow that presents a modern makeover of the original DEFY silhouette.
For the latter, Zenith imagines an alternate1969 in a decidedly modern and stealthy rendition. The new DEFY Revival Shadow has a decidedly muted and monolithic look compared to its predecessor, which stood out with its signature angular steel case in brightly polished and satin-brushed surfaces. Crafted in titanium, the DEFY Revival case, with its fourteen-sided bezel, is entirely micro-blasted to create a matte finish, revealing the titanium’s dark gray tone and enhancing the case’s iconic geometry.
