Boasting a double tourbillon, this newest Zenith Defy Zero G incorporates a brand first: a gravity control gyroscopic module that enables it to function in zero-gravity environments. This is accomplished by affixing the regulating organ to a gimbal that remains in a flat position no matter the position of the watch - overcoming the effects of gravity on chronometric precision. A redesigned El Primero manually wound movement and sapphire case allow for viewing of the parts that are seemingly suspended in space. The chronograph times to 1/100th of a second. Artistic accents include a handcrafted meteorite mosaic, aventurine glass and miniature painting. Just 10 pieces will be made.

For Zenith, 'Master of Chronographs' is not a title but an unreachable aspiration, as there is no point in time at which technical innovation should cease and the master be crowned. Instead, the company continues to expand its countless list of achievements and innovatively contribute to the advancement of mechanical chronographs.A testament to their ethos, the Zenith Chronomaster Sport features a striking tri-color dial, pump style pushes and a steel bracelet that grants it a sleek and modern appearance while its automatic chronograph movement ensures dependability. The El Primo caliber further flaunts the brand's creativity as the world's first chronograph with automatic high-frequency movement. The Defy Zero G line garners equal repute as it boasts a redesigned Gravity Control movement with an open execution. The hand-crafted dial in mosaic meteorite, venturine glass and grand feu enamel on a gold base gleam to add a fascinating visual dimension as well as technical awe.
