You might associate octagons and bezels that are not round or square with Gérald Genta, and for a good reason, the Royal Oak is an enormously popular watch, but it wasn’t the first. A mixture of shapes, the chunky cases of the first Defy models were octagonal (8-sided) but came with a tetradecagonal (14-sided) bezel. While it is probably the range that brings the most cash in for Zenith, the original Defy watches were professional tools designed for specific people and came around in 1969. Unfortunately, this comes at about the time of year when I should be in hibernation, so if I nod off, then don’t worry, it’s not because of the watch.īefore we go any further, let’s take a look at where the Defy range comes from. Oh wait, it was only yesterday! As it’s the beginning of the year, most watch brands are psyching themselves up to release new pieces.
You know, it feels like it was only yesterday that we were talking about a limited edition Zenith revival watch based on an old model.
