A Closer Look at the Avant-Garde Zenith Defy Revival A3648, Rekindling the ‘Anything is Possible’ Spirit of 1969

Zenith has once again dug deep into its archives and is back with the Defy Revival A3648 dive replica watches for sale.

1969 was a pivotal year for Zenith. The Manufacture launched the El Primero automatic chronograph, which would become one of the most influential movements of all time. In addition to this landmark feat, Zenith also launched the powerful Defy collection that same year. This series of sporty watches featured an unprecedented design, with an octagonal case and a 14-sided bezel. In recent years, Zenith has been experimenting with the historical blueprint of the original Defy and recreating it stylishly in the Defy Revival collection. Following a series of time-and-date models, it was time for the Defy Revival to go even further. The result? The avant-garde Zenith Defy Revival A3648, based on the 1969 original.

As mentioned above, the Defy collection was first introduced in 1969 with several time-and-date watches, in addition to a 600-meter water-resistant diver’s watch called the Defy Plongeur. At the time, it was known as “The Vault” for its ultra-robust construction, a feature that has been retained in this new version that is faithful to the original.

The first models were already quite impressive when they were first released, but even today, their design remains very expressive and attractive. In the Defy Revival series, Zenith has taken a step forward by directly recreating the original Defy concept, starting with the A3642, A3691 and A3690, which feature gradient brown, red or turquoise dials. This was followed by the Defy Revival Shadow Titanium, which took a looser approach to the Revival concept, and now this one. best fake watches

Launched alongside the very modern Defy Extreme Diver, this new Defy Revival A3648 faithfully recreates the look of the 1969 original. The exterior is a 1:1 recreation of the original, which means we’re looking at a 37mm x 15.5mm stainless steel case. The octagonal base is topped by a 14-sided rotating bezel with an orange sapphire inlay. The screw-down crown is located at 04:30 and the watch is water-resistant to 600 meters, just like the original.

The dial has a deep black center surrounded by a wide orange chapter ring. The hands and hour markers are shaped exactly like the 1969 version and are generously coated with Super-LumiNova to improve readability in low-light conditions. The date window interrupts the minute track at 04:30, just like the original.

Under the sapphire crystal caseback, the Zenith Elite 670 movement roars, a movement that also appears in other Defy Revival models as well as the elegant Elite series (obviously). This automatic movement is produced in-house by Zenith and beats at 28,800vph. The power reserve is up to 50 hours, driven by a semi-skeletonised rotor, and the Zenith star logo is clearly visible.

While other Defy Revival models come with the iconic trapezoidal bracelet, the Defy Plongeur and Defy Revival A3648 do not. Instead, it has a five-link bracelet with solid links and a folding clasp with a diving suit extension, modelled after the original bracelet designed by Gay Frères in 1969.

If this vintage style isn’t your cup of tea, the rugged Defy Extreme Diver might be a good choice. This watch takes the spirit of the original Defy Plongeur in a more modern direction. Either way, both watches are great for diving! It may not be for everyone, but in my opinion, saying they lack originality would be a serious disservice to the collection.

The new Breitling Endurance Pro

zelin0802

As a watch enthusiast, you only need to know certain brands. If you think you are someone who knows cheap watches, then these names are no exception. The name Breitling has become synonymous with pilot watches, thanks to the long tool watch tradition of Swiss watchmakers. However, time has changed, and the Voyager is not the only jewel in Breitling’s crown. I’m talking about Breitling’s “professional” timepieces. Since the launch of the first flight Aerospace in 1985, the professional collection of watchmakers has achieved amazing growth.

Meet New Breitling Pro

From the narrow, rugged aerospace to the more feature-rich Chronospace, and of course the most advanced Exospace, the Professional series has been truly developed. Oh, don’t expect Emergency II, this watch can literally call out a strange helicopter just in case you head south. It is obvious that Breitling chose it for the new Endurance Pro due to its technical sophistication and durability.

The idea behind the new Breitling Endurance Pro is very clear. For many years, luxury sports watches have been limited to rigid stainless steel casings and mechanical movements. Think about it, this might increase the face value of the clock, but it doesn’t do much for its purpose. This is the driving force behind Breitling’s sports watch, which is made of something much lighter than stainless steel and powered by something stronger than a mechanical movement.

For those who don’t know, Endurance Pro is basically the successor to the Sprint timepiece launched in 1967. The uniqueness of this watch is that it provides a “pulse meter”, which allows users to check their heart rate. Yes, Apple, you are not the first to do this. This feature can be found in the new Endurance Pro.

The second thing that catches the eye is that the watch uses unconventional materials. This watch witnessed the use of the “Breitlight” material introduced in 2016. The material is 5.8 times lighter than stainless steel and 3.3 times lighter than titanium. If you ask me, it is really impressive. Because it is suitable for the sports characteristics of the watch, it is an ideal choice.

In-depth details
The height of this watch is 44 mm, which is pretty good considering the modern size. The case is made of Breitlight, which is a material specially designed for this type of watch. As mentioned above, Breitling claims that it is lighter than stainless steel and titanium. The dial is black with five different colors. The applied Arabic numeral hour markers and Super LumiNova help to improve the readability of the device. The watch also has a water resistance of 100 meters and offers options between rubber and nylon straps.

As far as the movement is concerned, the watch is powered by the best Breitling Caliber 82 movement, which is a high-precision, thermally compensated and robust Swiss SuperQuartz movement. The movement has a height of 30 mm and provides hours, minutes, seconds, date and last but not least a chronograph. Like all Breitling quartz movements, this movement has also received COSC certification.

For many people, this is bound to be the best luxury sports watch out there. Although it exudes the stench of classic Breitling, it may surprise many people because it combines the advantages of modern aesthetics.

To be honest, the market segment that Breitling is trying to invade has been dominated by watches such as Luminox and various versions of G-Shocks. Despite this, not everyone is looking for a watch that can play. Some people just want something that can handle good old whipping sessions, in which case it takes about 500 minutes of vigorous activity.

Breitling (Breitling) launched this watch, and called it “Breitling (Breitling) Endurance Pro Strava Challenge”. The plan encourages users of that particular watch to sweat for 500 minutes. It can be cycling, running, sprinting or swimming. Basically, anything that keeps you active and forces you to improve your heart rate. Participants who complete the challenge will be drawn. Rumor has it that the first prize is a Breitling-Colnago brand bicycle.

To be sure, this Fake Watches Online Sale will be a huge success, especially considering that its price will be lower than many mainstream luxury sports watches on the market.
