Launched in 2026, the Zenith DEFY Extreme Ultraviolet 97.9100.9004/80.I209 showcases a captivating violet theme, building on the foundation laid by the DEFY 21 Ultraviolet of 2020. This timepiece features a robust and angular 45 mm microblasted titanium case, boasting a thickness of 15.4 mm and a lug-to-lug length of 51 mm. It is equipped with a screw-down crown, a system for interchangeable straps, and is rated for water resistance up to 20 ATM.

The violet-tinted sapphire dial is complemented by matching violet sub-dials and an intricate openworked design, allowing glimpses of the intricate movement underneath. Time is displayed with central hour and minute hands, alongside a small seconds marker located at 9 o'clock. This model comes with a precise 1/100th-of-a-second chronograph featuring a central hand that makes a full rotation every second, accompanied by a 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock, a 60-second counter at 6 o'clock, and a chronograph power reserve indicator at 12 o'clock. Enhanced visibility is provided by rhodium-plated hands and hour markers coated with Super-LumiNova SLN C1.

At its core lies the Zenith El Primero 9004, an automatic chronograph movement characterized by two independent escapements. The primary escapement operates at 36,000 vibrations per hour, while the chronograph escapement boasts an impressive 360,000 vibrations per hour to facilitate the 1/100th-of-a-second chronograph feature. This movement is certified as a chronometer with a power reserve lasting up to 50 hours. A striking violet Zenith star-shaped oscillating weight can be admired through the sapphire crystal case back. The watch comes with a violet rubber strap and a folding clasp, along with a microblasted titanium bracelet and a black Velcro strap for versatility.
