GREECE, ZENITH-STYLE

The Le Locle-based watchmaker has produced one of its most contemporary models in the colors of Greece and more specifically those of a famous island in the Cyclades for a 25-piece limited edition

Known for its evening festivities and its sometimes quirky fauna, Mykonos is the most visited island of the Cyclades. Surrounded by the Aegean Sea and basking in a warm climate, it is famous for its landscapes peppered with whitewashed houses and pointed-roof windmills, all under an intense blue sky rarely flecked with clouds in the summer. It is the beauty and picturesque charm of this Greek haven that Zenith wanted to reproduce in its special edition Defy Classic Mykonos Edition, limited to just 25 pieces and produced exclusively for its local retailer Gofas.

Sealed with a transparent window, the case back bears a white outline of the famous windmills as well as the word “Mykonos”.

In a nod to the narrow streets of the island lined with large round cobblestones, the central blue band of the white-edged rubber strap picks out the pattern of this characteristic paving.
