Available on rubber strap and original 18 k rose gold buckle. In 1865, in the town of Le Locle in the Swiss canton of Neuchâtel, the visionary watchmaker George Favre-Jacot was determined to create the most accurate and reliable wristwatches of his time. He revolutionized the production of wristwatches, bringing together the full range of watchmaking professions under one roof. In doing so, he facilitated the systematic control of each component and the complete mechanism. Bringing these skills together in one place has significantly stimulated the progress of production techniques, and Zenith has indeed been able to produce the most accurate and reliable wristwatches to date. To this day, Zenith remains one of the few manufacturers capable of producing all the parts of its wristwatches, and Zenith Defy Xtreme Chronograph Automatic gathers all the benefits of this whole history.
