The Zenith Defy El Primero 21 is one of the most impressive new entries on the luxury watch market, looking so fresh and complex, while putting out a modern vibe for us to enjoy. Although the story of the El Primero is not often discussed, Zenith’s fascinating line of bespoke watches could very well become a brand on its own – like DS strayed from Citroen.
In a world dominated by digital instruments right now, mechanical measuring devices are a big deal and should be totally appreciated. The El Primero 21 movement is not a traditional mechanism, even though it was inspired by some TAG Heuer works; instead, the architecture of this unique movement is totally new and benefits from light and antimagnetic materials such as Carbon-Matrix Carbon Nanotube.
The Zenith Defy El Primero 21 also shows off a sleek 44 mm titanium case, with three masculine versions on offer. Featuring a very special DNA, thanks to its striking angular edges and also the charming skeletonized dial, we cannot help but notice the familiar design of the watch. The three options include a natural titanium case with a skeletonized dial, a black-coated titanium case with a skeletonized dial, and there’s also a model with a non-skeletonized dial and a natural titanium case .
According to the company, the new El Primero 21 in the non-skeletonized dial version could be yours for $10,600 USD, the natural titanium version with a skeletonized option costs $11,600, while the black titanium one will set you back $12,600. Which flavor do you prefer?
