Watch giant Zenith enters a new frontier with the brand’s first online-only limited edition watch: the DEFY Classic Swizz Beatz. Created in collaboration with the Grammy Award-Winning music producer, Swizz Beatz, the US-exclusive watch is crafted in a Black ceramic case and blackened skeleton dial and is limited to just 50 pieces. The timepiece’s black case is accented with an orange flange ring and a matching central seconds hand, as well as an orange textured rubber strap which can be changed to a black rubber-backed alligator strap with orange stitching. With careful consideration to packaging, the watch is sold in a box which doubles as a turntable to play 10” vinyl records.

Take a closer look at the piece as modelled by Swizz Beatz in the galleries above, and check out the new watch on the Zenith site here.
