​Technical Specifications
​Brand / Model: Zenith Defy Automatic (Vintage)

​Case Diameter: Approximately 37 mm excluding the winding crown. Thanks to its octagonal shape and thick contours reflecting the futuristic design language of the era, it exhibits a very substantial and powerful presence on the wrist

​Condition & Restoration Details
​Operational Status: The automatic movement and date transitions function smoothly and fluidly, keeping highly accurate time 
​Winding Crown: Due to use or wear over the years, the winding crown is not original to the watch; however, it has been replaced with a high-quality crown that is fully compatible with the steel structure of the case and the movement functions 
​Strap & Buckle: The stainless steel bracelet and clasp/buckle currently on the watch are not original . A high-quality aftermarket integrated steel bracelet was chosen to complement the visuals without disrupting the iconic structure and vintage spirit of the Defy case.
