Elegant, bright and “lightning”

A revival of the Defy model with its 41 case borrowing from the Genta design, powered by a Primero Ref 3620 - a non-chrono version of the 3600 that equips the Chronomaster Sport. 60 hours of autonomy and a small lightning second (1/10). A magnificent textured dial - Blue for my version - with multiple stars. Very precise watch, high beat (36k) obliges, transparent back with a movement decorated with a very worked balance wheel with the Zenith star. An ingenious enlink for quick attachment of the excellent Gay Frere steel. This bracelet is a marvel in itself with finishes that have nothing to envy to the excellent bracelet of the Royal Oak from AP. Here too we are entitled to a perfect integration with remarkable work on the chamfers and the extension of the case which is also very worked on the angles, the chamfers, the brushed texture or even microblasted (in appearance). The rubber bracelet with folding clasp is also very comfortable. Certainly FKM or equivalent. Small note on the adjustment of the bracelet: tedious to adjust with screws and counterscrews and especially no micro adjustment to the buckle. Any regrets? No, any flaws? Minor but slightly thick for a watch that wants to be a little sporty, a little "dress" too.... We would like a 39-40 version instead of 41 and slightly less thick: for that a renewal of the manual HW would be an alternative. Capricious to take a photo to pay tribute to it :-)!
