Years of full-on R&amp;D have enabled the Manufacture (which has passed the 150-year mark) to transform its iconic caliber, while also offering it in a whole new collection. The self-winding El Primero Caliber 9004 powering the Defy El Primero 21 model \u2013 available since this summer in brushed titanium \u2013 offers hundredth of a second accuracy. Immediately identifiable by a look far more modern than previous generations of Zenith chronographs, the Defy El Primero 21 (standing for 21st century) proudly and effectively displays its accuracy via a seconds hand rotating in one second around the inner bezel ring graduated from 1 to 100. The complexity of the openworked dial and its ruthenium hour-markers reinforce the sophisticated appearance of this chronometer- certified distillation of innovation, notably featuring a chronograph escapement oscillating at the rate of 360,000 vibrations per hour. A model clearly destined for fans of top-rate performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Defy El Primero 21 Brushed Titanium CASE : brushed titanium, domed sapphire crystal, sapphire caseback, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":31443,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[80],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31446"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31446"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31446\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31447,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31446\/revisions\/31447"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31443"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
