Zenith’s loudest and proudest women’s watch yet.
If you are not one for svelte and petite creations that subtly dress your wrist, the new Zenith Defy El Primero 21 Pink Edition might just be the watch for you. Describing the watch as its “most flamboyantly feminine watch to date”, Zenith launched this boutique-exclusive in partnership with Pink Ribbon Switzerland, in a bid to spread awareness about women battling breast cancer.
A powerhouse of a watch from the inside-out, the Defy El Primero 21 Pink Edition is driven by Zenith’s legendary high-beat El Primero automatic chronograph movement – a mechanical step-up from the Defy Midnight and Elite women’s offerings that debuted earlier this year. Besides endowing the girly ticker with some serious drive, the El Primero 9004 automatic movement is also a sight to behold with its open-worked construction, embellished with an eye-snapping pink mainplate with a special pink star-shaped rotor.
On the outside, 288 white diamonds adorn a rose gold case, while the bezel is set with 44 stunning baguette-cut pink sapphires. Adding to the pageantry is a captivating skeleton dial with gold-plated hands and hour markers coated in Super-LumiNova. To match the overall aesthetic, the watch comes in a black rubber strap with pink alligator leather coating, with gold and titanium double-folding clasp.
Zenith has pledged to donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Defy 21 Pink Edition to Pink Ribbon Switzerland. In addition, it will also produce a unique version of the watch for a charity auction—the 10th Anniversary Pink Ribbon Switzerland Music Gala, raising funds for The Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research.
With its bare-all countenance, bejewelled accents and bright pink touches, this is not a low-key watch by any means, especially with its 44mm girth, which means it'll be oversized for most ladies. It’s an unabashed statement on the wrist but one that also shouts its support for a worthy cause. Strong, independent women, this one’s for you.
