This Zenith Defy Automatic, reference 01 0901 290, is a distinguished example from the early 1970s, defined by its angular steel design and protected case architecture. The watch features a striking original brown fumé dial with applied striped baton markers, which is one of the most attractive period executions for this model family. The watch's caliber, 2562PC, is a high beat 23 jewel automatic movement from the MZM period, notable for its 28,800 vibrations per hour, marking it as a later specification within the Defy line. This piece retains essential model-defining characteristics, including the signed crown, Defy star caseback motif, and a patent stamped inner back, complemented by a Zenith signed buckle. While the calf leather strap is a later addition, the watch itself remains an authentic representation of Zenith's early 1970s Defy vocabulary.
