 ZENITH CELEBRATES THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNITED STATES WITH THE CHRONOMASTER REVIVAL LIBERTY II

As the United States marks its 250th anniversary, Zenith unveils the Chronomaster Revival Liberty II, a special edition that continues a story shaped by a longstanding dialogue between the Manufacture and the American spirit. Following the success of the first Chronomaster Revival Liberty, a North America-exclusive release inspired by the bold aesthetic codes of the late 1960s, this new chapter deepens the narrative with a more symbolic and commemorative approach.

More than a tribute piece, Liberty II draws on a deeper historical connection, one that traces back to the visionary mindset of founder Georges Favre-Jacot. After a journey to the United States, he found inspiration in the country’s emerging industrial model, shaping his ambition to establish the first fully integrated watch Manufacture in Switzerland.

This new creation stands as both a tribute to that definig moment and a continuation of the entrepreneurial spirit that has guided Zenith ever since, while naturally extending the Liberty editions into a series appreciated by collectors.

In the mid-19th century, Swiss watchmaking operated under the traditional établissage system, where components were produced separately before final assembly. It was during a formative journey to the United States that Georges Favre-Jacot discovered a radically different approach. Struck by the efficiency and modernity of American industrial organization, this experience became a defining catalyst for his vision.

Determined to rethink the very structure of watchmaking production, he set out to bring together all craft under one roof—laying the foundations for the first fully integrated Swiss watch Manufacture and redefining standards of precision and consistency.

At only 22 years old, Favre-Jacot drove this vision with remarkable entrepreneurial determination. Heexpanded the Manufacture far beyond conventional boundaries, developing tools, machines and entire infrastructures to support production.

His ambition was clear: to create the “perfect watch”, where technical mastery and refinement would exist in complete harmony. This enduring commitment to mechanical integrity remains deeply embedded in Zenith’s identity today.

The Chronomaster Revival Liberty II revisits one of the Manufacture’s most emblematic references, the A384 from 1969, faithfully reproducing its distinctive 37mm tonneau-shaped case. Crafted in stainless steel and offered alongside an ultra-limited forged carbon version, it stays true to its original design while embracing a contemporary edge.

Its white-lacquered dial with blue counters is accented by a striped chronograph hand drawing inspiration from the American flag, featuring 13 alternating red and white stripes in reference to the original colonies. The tachymeter scale is rendered in blue throughout, with the “250” and the “4” on the date disc highlighted in red — subtle touches that echo both the colours of the American flag and the symbolic date of independence.

At its heart beats the El Primero 400 calibre, a direct descendant of the world-renowed 1969 movement, the world’s first automatic, integrated high-frequency chronograph. Operating at 36,000 vibrations per hour (5 Hz), it enables precise measurement to the nearest tenth of a second, with a power reserve of approximately 50 hours. Visible through the transparent caseback, the movement reflects the Manufacture’s expertise and legacy.

The Chronomaster Revival Liberty II is released in two exclusive versions: a stainless steel edition limited to 250 pieces, echoing the anniversary it celebrates, and a forged carbon edition limited to just 25 pieces, offering a more contemporary interpretation.

The stainless steel model comes with two strap options: a stainless steel ladder bracelet and a blue Cordura-effect rubber strap prioritizing comfort and adaptability. In contrast, the carbon edition is offered solely with the blue Cordura-effect rubber strap. Both editions are exclusively available in the United States.

With the Chronomaster Revival Liberty II, Zenith celebrates more than a historic milestone. It reflects a defining moment in its history: when a journey across the Atlantic helped shape a vision that continues to guide the Manufacture’s pursuit of precision to this day.

ZENITH – DEFY Extreme Lapis Lazuli Edition

 

 

ZENITHDEFY Extreme Lapis Lazuli Chronograph 45 mm Steel and Yellow Gold Special Edition - 2025

ZENITH DEFY EXTREME LAPIS LAZULI: 
PRECISION THAT RADIATES IN BLUE

As part of its 160th anniversary celebrations, Zenith continues to pay tribute to its rich heritage through creations that combine natural beauty with technical brilliance. With its deep celestial blue, lapis lazuli perfectly echoes Zenith’s signature hue, a symbol of infinity, precision and the pursuit of excellence.

The Manufacture now unveils an extraordinary expression of its most daring and technologically advanced chronograph: the Defy Extreme Lapis Lazuli, produced in a limited edition of 50 pieces.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Housed in a striking combination of microblasted yellow gold and polished steel, the 45mm DEFY Extreme Lapis Lazuli reveals a captivating openworked dial crafted from this celestial blue stone. Through its translucent depth, the dial offers glimpses of the groundbreaking movement within, a mechanical marvel capable of measuring 1/100th of a second with absolute precision.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The DEFY Extreme’s bold, angular architecture takes on a new expression through the contrast of mirror-polished steel and the warm, matte radiance of yellow gold adorning the dodecagonal bezel and pusher protectors. This play of light and texture accentuates the watch’s sculptural form, while the golden tones echo through the hands; hour markers and lapis lazuli dial itself. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Each dial is a natural work of art: its deep blue surface is scattered with shimmering pyrite inclusions, ensuring that no two pieces are ever alike. Completing the composition, the outer 1/100th of a second scale is rendered in blue, creating a seamless chromatic harmony across the dial.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

At the heart of the DEFY Extreme Lapis Lazuli beats the El Primero 9004 calibre, a remarkable evolution of ZENITH’s legendary high-frequency chronograph. It remains the only mechanical chronograph in regular production capable of measuring 1/100th of a second. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

This technical achievement is made possible by two independent escapements: one beating at 5Hz (36,000 VpH) for timekeeping, and another at an astounding 50Hz (360,000 VpH) dedicated to the chronograph. The latter drives the central chronograph’s hand to perform a full rotation of the dial every second, enabling perfectly clear readings of elapsed times down to a hundredth of a second.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The openworked dial reveals the movement’s dynamic architecture, with the chronograph seconds counter at 6 o’clock, chronograph minutes at 3 o’clock, power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock, and small seconds at 9 o’clock. Through the sapphire case back, the view continues with the signature star-shaped oscillating weight in satin-brushed finish, a contemporary hallmark of ZENITH’s craftsmanship.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

True to the versatile spirit of the DEFY Extreme, this special edition features an interchangeable strap system, operated effortlessly via push buttons on the back of the case. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

It is delivered with three distinct options: a steel bracelet, a black embossed rubber strap with folding clasp, and a black Velcro strap, allowing the wearer to adapt the watch seamlessly from sport to sophistication.

 ZENITH ELEVATES THE DEFY SKYLINE WITH A STRIKING ROSE GOLD TOURBILLON INSPIRED BY ITS HISTORIC MANUFACTURE

Le Locle, October 22, 2025 – Introduced in 2022, the ZENITH DEFY Skyline has rapidly established itself as one of the Manufacture’s contemporary icons. With its bold lines, integrated architecture, and distinctive technical edge, it has since been offered in numerous iterations exploring a wide spectrum of complications and materials. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Today, ZENITH elevates the DEFY Skyline to new heights of refinement: for the first time, the DEFY Skyline Tourbillon is crafted entirely in radiant rose gold. Its deep brick-red dial pays direct tribute to the historic ZENITH Manufacture in Le Locle, echoing the distinctive red-and-white brickwork and forging a tangible link between the brand’s heritage and its most cutting-edge creation.

The elevated essence of a contemporary classic

Launched as the modern heir to the original DEFY line of 1969, renowned for its boldness and resilience, the DEFY Skyline represents ZENITH’s vision of an urban timepiece that bridges heritage and innovation. Its angular geometry, strong silhouette and versatile design have made it a cornerstone of the Manufacture’s collections.

Now, with the tourbillon version, the DEFY Skyline appears in full rose gold, rediscovering its sharp facets through the warm glow of the precious metal. Alternating satin-brushed and polished surfaces accentuate the 41mm case’s geometry, revealing a striking new perspective on its architectural design. As with previous DEFY Skyline Tourbillon editions, the dial is adorned with a mesmerizing pattern of engraved four-pointed stars that radiate outward from the tourbillon aperture at 6 o’clock.

For this rose gold interpretation, ZENITH introduces a deep brick-red dial, a chromatic nod to the Manufacture’s historic building in Le Locle, with its distinctive red-and-white brickwork. Rose-gold hands, enhanced with Super-LumiNova, ensure legibility while harmonizing with the case’s luxurious tones, while the oscillating weight also bears the warm glow of gold, further underscoring the watch’s refined character.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

At the heart of the DEFY Skyline Tourbillon beats the El Primero 3630 automatic high-frequency calibre. Entirely developed and manufactured in-house, it delivers a 5Hz (36,000 VpH) frequency and a power reserve of 50 hours. The tourbillon carriage, weighing a mere 0.25 grams, epitomizes ZENITH’s mastery of miniaturization and precision. 
 
Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The movement’s architecture echoes the starry geometry of the dial: the surfaces feature a contemporary 3D laser-engraved “côtes de Genève” motif radiating from the tourbillon in a sunray pattern, drawing the eye toward the beating heart of the watch. For the first time in the DEFY Skyline, the oscillating weight is also crafted in rose gold. Shaped as an openworked star, it allows for an unobstructed view of the calibre’s contemporary design.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

This exclusive version is delivered on an integrated rose gold H-link bracelet, perfectly tapering from the case to the folding clasp, ensuring exceptional comfort. True to the DEFY Skyline spirit, versatility is key: the timepiece also comes with an additional brick-red rubber strap, perfectly matching the dial’s deep tone. Both can be exchanged effortlessly thanks to ZENITH’s intuitive quick-change system that requires no tools.

 DEEP IN THE ABYSS WITH THE DEFY EXTREME DIVER AND DEFY REVIVAL DIVER IN A SHADOW VERSION

Since 1969, the ZENITH DEFY collection has stood as a symbol of unwavering strength and precision. Nicknamed the “time safe” for its robust construction and ability to protect the movement like a vault, the DEFY quickly became a benchmark in durability. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Among its most iconic iterations was the DEFY Diver A3648, known as the DEFY Plongeur, a true professional dive watch featuring a 600-meter water resistance and a rotating bezel. In 2024, ZENITH reaffirmed its commitment to extreme performance with the launch of the modern DEFY Extreme Diver and a faithful revival of the coveted A3648

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO    

Today, both models are reimagined in striking micro-blasted titanium “Shadow” editions, fusing vintage inspiration with bold, contemporary design. These stealthy new interpretations are built for modern adventurers and ready to descend into the abyss.

Engineered for the most demanding underwater exploration, the DEFY Extreme Diver and DEFY Revival Diver are crafted from lightweight yet exceptionally robust titanium. Their bold, angular DEFY cases are entirely micro-blasted to achieve a matte finish that accentuates their strong, architectural lines and gives them a distinct stealth aesthetic.

While their dark tones and subdued textures evoke a sense of technical sophistication, vibrant yellow accents inject a burst of energy and high visibility, making these timepieces as functional as they are striking.

DEFY Extreme Diver: Designed for the Deep, Built for the Extreme

A modern descendant of ZENITH’s pioneering 1969 DEFY dive watches, the DEFY Extreme Diver is a contemporary instrument engineered for the most challenging underwater conditions. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Housed in a 42.5 mm micro-blasted titanium case, this rugged timepiece is as functional as it is striking. Sitting atop the fixed dodecagonal base is a unidirectional rotating bezel in black ceramic, fully filled with Super-LumiNova for optimal legibility. Precision operation is ensured, while the fluted bezel edge allows for easy handling, even with gloves.

 Designed for saturation diving, the watch boasts a 600-meter water resistance and features a helium escape valve, alongside a screw-down crown flanked by protective guards.

The star-patterned black dial is equipped with C1 Super-LumiNova markers and hands, punctuated by vivid yellow accents that ensure visibility in low-light conditions.

 In a rare feat for a watch of such depth rating, ZENITH has integrated an exhibition case back that reveals the El Primero 3620 automatic movement, finished in a sleek modern black. This time-only calibre beats at a high frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour and features a paramagnetic escapement with key components crafted from silicon. The bidirectional winding system provides a robust 60-hour power reserve.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Completing the DEFY Extreme Diver is a micro-blasted titanium three-link bracelet, as well as two interchangeable strap options. The first is a durable black rubber strap with a Cordura-effect texture and folding clasp. The second, is a black and yellow single-piece fabric strap secured with a pin buckle. Thanks to the integrated quick strap-change mechanism, switching between options is effortless and tool-free.

DEFY Revival Diver: Heritage Reborn in Titanium

A faithful recreation of the original DEFY A3648 diver’s watch from 1969, the DEFY Revival Diver brings vintage charm into the modern era with a dark, faceted 37mm micro-blasted titanium case. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Staying true to the original DEFY design language, the signature fourteen-sided bezel is retained, now placed above a round unidirectional rotating bezel crafted in titanium and fitted with a yellow-tinted sapphire insert. For improved ergonomics, the screw-down crown is positioned at 4:30, just as it was on the original. Like its contemporary counterpart, the DEFY Revival Diver boasts a water resistance of 600 meters, or 1,969 feet, a subtle nod to the year the DEFY collection was born.

The bold black-and-yellow theme carries over to the dial, where a matte black surface is energized by yellow accents on the hands and minute track. The hands and hour markers are filled with white Super-LumiNova, ensuring clarity and visibility in the darkest depths.

Powering the DEFY Revival Diver is the automatic Elite 670 calibre, which displays the hours, minutes, seconds, and date. Remarkably, despite the 600-meter depth rating and compact size, the watch features an exhibition case back offering a clear view of the movement. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO    

The oscillating weight is adorned with Geneva stripes and skeletonized in the shape of the ZENITH star. Operating at a frequency of 4 Hz, the Elite 670 delivers a power reserve of 50 hours. The watch is fitted with the iconic Gay Frères style bracelet, crafted in lightweight titanium with the same micro-blasted finish as the case. This enhances wearing comfort while the titanium folding clasp ensures a secure and refined fit.
