Zenth’s Defy Revival A3642

Post by AtomicTom » Tue Jan 18, 2022 11:49 am

Hey everyone, have you seen Zenth’s Defy Revival A3642?

This watch pays tribute to the first DEFY model from 1969
with it’s out of this world looks. With just a few of the many
specifications including a cool 37mm octagonal case with
300m WR, sapphire crystal, 14-sided bezel, gradient brown
dial with sleek hands, and funky markers. Then you have
a ladder bracelet, as well as Elite calibre 670 inside too.

Have a look...

I know there’s little love for that here, but it’s true to the original.

i wish zenith would revive the rainbow elite diver. 39mm, thin (i think it was 9 or 10mm), perfect dress diver.

I like small watches, but this is weirdly small in a not nice way.

Thanks, Tom! I like it but wish it were 1 mm bigger. I’d still wear it.

Zenith is underrated I think. Like some of their Defy line, like the Ultra Blue.

Don't mention it sir. :salute: :thumbsup:

You know, it's funny Chris, and everyone, I think Zenith is just fantastic.
However, I guess because of the prices, will often kind of avoid posting
about the watches. Nevertheless they have always been a company, or
brand that is beyond cool ! And these watches here really are both cool,
and fantastically funky that's for sure. 8-) 8-) :)

What's great too, is that I didn't even know Zenith made watches like
this years ago. So learning about both the original, as well as new version
was a real treat.

So was hearing what all of you guys had to say on this one. Thanks so
very much for giving your thoughts everyone !!!

The more I look at it, the less I like it. Ignoring the size, the ratio of case to dial is all wrong. Given the small size, the dial is probably the size of a dime.

$7,000 though. I can buy vintage for 1/4 of that with patience. 😂

Thanks Tom big Zenith fan boy. At 37mm, a big no from me (41mm). These guys should be making a killing from the Rolex unobtanium ATM over the previous 24 & post 36 months...
