The Zenith Defy Extreme Desert is the first special edition of this most extreme of mechanical chronographs, limited as it is to just 50 pieces worldwide, and we might end up referring to it as the Falcon?s Eye. If that is too literal, we have another suggestion… Believe it or not, the desert theme has been coming on stronger and stronger with every passing year, probably since 2017. By way of happy coincidence, the Zenith Defy Extreme Desert might well earn itself a spectacular moniker by emerging right now: the Arrakis.

Just from the colour scheme of the watch in its configuration with rubber interchangeable strap alone, the 45 mm Defy Extreme Desert looks the part of a Dune watch. Now take a look at the face of the watch, framed as it is with the geometric excess of the raised round bezel with a dodecagonal outline. While the Defy Extreme Desert is not meant to reference a pop culture phenomenon, the hour markers and bezel design make this look like a homage to Frank Herbert?s signature sand worms.
