Zenith Defy Classic Skeleton 'Night Surfer' Time+Tide 97.9000.670.26.M9000

Zenith has been knocking it out of the park for the past decade or so now, and the Defy line embodies what we love about them so much. This particular piece is known as the Classic Skeleton, and is a perfect combination of avante garde styling while maintaining daily useability. It truly feels like something different within a sector of integrated sports pieces that can be all a little too 'samesy' at times.

The variation we have here is a little more special that the regular production piece, being a limited edition of 100 pieces released in conjunction with Time + Tide here in Australia. Known as the "Night Surfer", it utilises a 41mm dark grey microblasted titanium case and bracelet, weighing in at just 95 grams, and within which is housed a magnificent open-worked dial with a vertical-gradient blue dial that absolutely pops against the deep grey case. It also features one of our favourite integrations of a date window in the horological world, other brands take note...

It’s powered by the in-house Elite movement with one of the coolest rotors in the biz to go along with it’s silicone escape wheel. Proper watchmaking chops in a very comfortable, capable and great looking package.

This particular piece was originally purchased in November 2021 and presents in TZ Near Mint condition. The case and bezel show a few very minor rub marks, and the bracelet shows a rub mark across the 6 o'clock endlink and first link. No dings or dents present. Screws in the lower links show some minor damage. See images for full condition details.

Comes with outer box, inner box, instruction booklet, card holder, cleaning cloth, hang tag, warranty card dated November 2021 and Watch Vault cleaning cloth.

Long sold out, don't miss your chance to pick up this excellent example of one of Zenith's coolest pieces.
