I will. This model, which follows the DEFY Extreme Desert and DEFY Extreme Glacier, is themed around the wild energy and mystical charm of the jungle. Carrying the robust spirit of Defy Extreme, Zenith has once again sought inspiration from the uncharted realms of nature. Designed to withstand harsh environments, whether deep in the wilderness or in the “concrete jungle,” the Defy Extreme Jungle is a highly durable 1/100-second chronograph made of natural stone that stirs the imagination. This is the last of three special editions. The incorporation of exotic gemstones into the complex case construction is a combination of creativity and technical mastery, giving this high-performance timepiece its unique appeal.

characterized by its beautiful color of gold and brown, its reflection that changes depending on the angle, and its silky smooth luster, and has been used in jewelry and ornaments since ancient times. Each timepiece is unique, as each rare stone is a product of nature and has a unique appearance. The striped pattern of the tiger’s eye is reminiscent of the mysterious beauty of a tiger’s eye, and is considered a symbol of strength and mystery. The high-performance case is water resistant to 20 ATM to withstand use in harsh environments.

In keeping with the jungle theme, the dial is painted in green, while the counter features subtle details that mimic the pattern of a tiger’s stripes. The markers and hands are coated with beige luminous paint that complements the coloring, making them easy to read in any environment. At the heart of the Defy Extreme Jungle beats the automatic El Primero 9004 caliber. Partly visible through the dial and fully visible through the see-through case back, the high-frequency chronograph is an innovative evolution of Zenith’s legendary movement, and is the world’s fastest with an accuracy of 1/100 of a second. It is an automatic chronograph. The movement has two independent mechanisms with their own power source and regulating mechanism, operating at a frequency of 5Hz (36,000 vibrations per hour) for the time and 50Hz (360,000 vibrations per hour) for the chronograph. The latter’s incredible speed allows the chronograph seconds hand to rotate once every second, accurately displaying 1/100th of a second. The innovative movement has a jungle-inspired finish, with a khaki green mainplate and satin-finished rotor. Image
