Zenith Defy Revival Shadow Titanium Black Dial 2024

The Zenith Defy Revival Shadow (Ref. 97.A3642.670/21.M3642) is a masterful modern reinterpretation of the 1969 A3642 model, unveiled in 2023. Housed in a 37 mm micro‑blasted titanium case with its signature fourteen‑sided bezel, this stealthy edition delivers a matte black dial punctuated by rhodium‑plated, faceted hour markers and beige Super‑LumiNova–filled hands, evoking the original’s bold geometry in a contemporary, subdued palette. Powered by the in‑house Elite 670 automatic caliber, visible through a sapphire display back, it beats at 4 Hz with a silicon escapement and offers a 50‑hour power reserve—an impressive blend of vintage aesthetic and modern horological performance. With 30 ATM (300 m) water resistance, it retains the robust spirit of the original while meeting today’s technical standards. The integrated “ladder” bracelet, now rendered in micro‑blasted titanium with a refined folding clasp, enhances both comfort and continuity with the 1969 design. As part of Zenith’s Revival collection, this non‑limited edition stands out for its faithful homage to heritage and its forward‑looking execution, making it a compelling choice for collectors seeking both historical resonance and enduring functionality.
