Play It Again

With the Defy Extreme Carl Cox and Defy Skyline Sapphire, Zenith has us falling in love again

A GOOD DJ CAN MAKE A PARTY ENJOYABLE, but a great DJ can make it unforgettable. In the same vein, many watchmakers today make a good chronograph, but only Zenith can make an unmistakable one. The Defy Extreme Chronograph is equipped with the highest frequency chronograph in regular production, able to capture 1/100th of second readings with two escapements, in keeping with the high-frequency character that has defined Zenith since the introduction of the El Primero movement in 1969.

With a career spanning over 40 years, Zenith’s latest Ambassador Carl Cox is one of the world’s most successful DJs, known for his adaptability and creativity. Cox is not afraid to take risks and experiment with new sounds, keeping his sets fresh and exciting. Seamless transitions and unique sounds set him apart from other DJs, giving new perspective of the simpatico relationship between the brand and its latest face.

For the Defy Extreme Carl Cox limited edition, Zenith returned to the source to draw inspiration from one of the most indispensable tools in the legendary DJ’s arsenal: the turntable. “I feel so honoured that Zenith have immortalised the three turntables that helped make my name within this watch,” says Cox.
