WATCHES TIMEPIECES 91
These are complemented by beige luminescent markers and hands , ensuring optimal legibility in all conditions .
At the heart of the DEFY Extreme Jungle beats the automatic El Primero 9004 caliber .
Partially visible through the dial and fully exposed via the exhibition case back , this high-frequency chronograph is an innovative evolution of ZENITH ’ s legendary movement .
It remains the world ’ s fastest automatic chronograph in production , allowing for 1 / 100th of a second precision .
This is achieved through two independent mechanisms , each with its own power source and regulating organ : one beating at 5Hz ( 36,000 vph ) for timekeeping , and the other at 50Hz ( 360,000 vph ) for the chronograph .
Taking advantage of the incredible speed of the latter , the chronograph seconds hand makes a full rotation every second , offering outstanding legibility of the 1 / 100th of a second display .
This innovative movement showcases jungle-inspired finishing touches , with a khaki green main plate and a satin-brushed oscillating weight in the same hue .
The DEFY Extreme also features a practical interchangeable strap system , easily operated via push buttons on the back of the case .
To enhance versatility , the Jungle Edition comes with three straps : a titanium bracelet , a khaki green embossed rubber strap with a titanium folding buckle , and a black Velcro strap .
Limited to 50 pieces , the DEFY Extreme Jungle is available at ZENITH boutiques , online , and through authorized retailers worldwide . www . zenith-watches . com
