Zenith Defy Automatic, a 1977 stainless steel automatic watch with a black dial, 36 mm case, and an integrated steel bracelet.
Description from the seller
Vintage Zenith Defy Automatic with stunning black dial, dating from the iconic 1970s era of bold integrated steel sports watches. This model features a full stainless steel construction with the original integrated bracelet and a beautifully balanced square/TV-shaped case design that perfectly captures the vintage Zenith aesthetic.
The case measures approximately 36x40 mm, a highly wearable size that gives the watch strong wrist presence while remaining elegant and comfortable. Powered by an automatic movement, this Defy belongs to the legendary “Defy” line, often referred to by collectors as the “safe of time” thanks to its robust construction, screw-down crown, and durable case architecture. Vintage Defy models from this period are particularly appreciated for their avant-garde 70s design, integrated bracelet, and high-quality in-house Swiss movements.
The watch features:
* Original black dial with applied indices
* Date window at 3 o’clock
* Automatic Swiss movement
* Full stainless steel case and bracelet
* Iconic 1970s integrated design
* Classic Zenith Defy styling with strong vintage character
Condition:
The watch shows visible signs of wear consistent with age and normal use over the years, including scratches and marks on the case, bracelet, and crystal. However, it remains in overall very good vintage condition and retains a beautiful original appearance with excellent wrist presence.
A highly collectible and increasingly sought-after vintage Zenith that offers exceptional value compared to other integrated steel sports watches from the same era.
