The roger dubuis replica 21 Land Rover Edition

The Land Rover Edition is a timepiece that could just as easily be associated with the F-117 stealth fighter. It features a matte grey ceramic case with a micro-sandblasted finish that kills all reflections. It turns Zenith’s beloved Defy into a discreet and functional instrument.

This Defy chronograph employs an El Primero caliber, particularly the 9004 with independent regulating devices: one for timekeeping that beats 5 Hertz and another for chronograph which is able to measure time to 1/100th of a second, thanks to its 50 Hz-beating balance wheel. While the Defender has always been mechanically essential, this roger dubuis replica 21 is a genuine triumph of watchmaking technology.

Gerry McGovern, Land Rover’s creative director, brought his experience to add to the readability of the Defy 21 Land Rover Edition, particularly in the details on the dial, its fine graphics and delicate numerals surrounded by the cold, gray surface of the 40mm ceramic case.

In particular, the orange touch on the winding crown(panerai replica ) and the subtle indication of the 30-minute power reserve for the chronograph barely break the formality of this remarkable piece of watchmaking. At the back, only the “LAND ROVER” engraving on the case and on the wheel-like oscillating mass depict that this is a Zenith dedicated to Land Rover. The Highlands await.
