Water-resistant to 1,968 feet, and equipped with a helium-escape valve, typically only found on professional-grade dive watches and designed to allow the safe exit of helium gasses from the automatic El Primero 3620-SC movement while ascending from deep dives, the Defy is a serious timekeeping tool. It’s also handsome, with an orange one-way rotating bezel that matches the outer band of the dial and the oversized hour and minute hands. The crown is located at the 5 o’clock position, adjacent to the date sub-dial. Large luminous hands are visible even in the icy darkness of the ocean, or to check the time during a show. Strap options include a stainless-steel bracelet and a nylon strap made from recycled fishing nets. Defy doesn’t just tell time, it lives it; Zenith-Watches.com.
