Definitely one of the most underrated chronographs out there, and I think that Zenith as done a great job in making crazy variations like this or the Carl Cox Edition, but they also make more under the radar versions like the silver Panda version with the solid dial so that it flies even more under the radar. The complication itself is a bit to stressy for my personal taste, but there's no doubt from an engineering perspective its amazing, and I love the little purple highlights on the movement - great macro shots highlighting that. As always a great video of an interesting watch that you don't see every day :)

Zenith is absolutely beautiful, I fell in love with the Lupin Edition Revival. The Defy is amazing, however the case size has always been a concern for my tiny wrists. One cannot ignore the value proposition, and it blows my mind just how overlooked the brand itself is. Good for us, since it helps keeps the prices down. My colleague is a fan of big dials and playful colours, he was going to purchase a Hublot - I took him out to a Zenith boutique and he was like a child in a candy store. He purchased the Defy 21 Carl Cox edition, and has been wearing it since. Kind Regards.

The thing I don't like is the lume spacing, as there is no lume at the 6, while usually its at the 12.
