Defying gravity is no metaphor at ZENITH, it is a patented reality that no other watchmaker has achieved. Introduced in 2008, the ZENITH Zero G stands alone in the world of haute horlogerie as the only wristwatch movement equipped with a gimbal-mounted “Gravity Control” escapement module, a breakthrough that neutralizes the effects of gravity on precision in real time. Protected by exclusive patents and born of years of pioneering research, this unrivaled innovation embodies the Manufacture’s relentless pursuit of chronometric perfection. As ZENITH celebrates its 160th anniversary, the Manufacture elevates this horological feat to new heights with two spectacular DEFY Zero G models crafted entirely in sapphire, one in deep celestial blue, the other fully transparent. Each version is released in an extremely limited run of 10 pieces worldwide.
