Is anyone else excited about this offering? Since seeing the Defy 21 El Primero Carbon, I really hoped to see a three hand option, and BOOM! Here it is.
Agreed. I like the heft of a chunky SS or precious metal watch.

But, between the look, and just trying to have something to change up. I really like it. I had eyed up the Defy El Primero in carbon, but really don't need another chrono...
I don't think it'd be any more difficult than any other bracelet.

That being said, I think a carbon bracelet is too light for my tastes. I've tried ceramic bracelets and same story, it just feels too light. I'd have to go rubber.
Looks killer but I'll be curious to see how well the carbon bracelet holds up. Forged carbon pieces are strong but not necessarily hard or abrasion resistant (resin)
I think the wording used is "...this new Zenith Defy Classic Carbon watch is the first automatic watch to boast an all-carbon-fiber case and bracelet..." [nt]
For sure a nice Defy with 3 hands. I prefer three handed watches put on the center axle. That said, i would have no problems with Rolex as a brand who always put 3 hands where they must be. 1 minor thing, i hope they start to use look through case backs and decorate the movements more. But Zenith does not hide the beauty of movements behind a stainless steel plate. Ok, they’re pilot line is closed.
Fully carbon, honestly i have no clue what to think about fully carbon. I like light to wear watches and also heavy watches. Knowing me as a metal lover, i am happy with steel watches.
