Tropicana Nov-Dec 2020 #133 The Festive Issue

All About Contrast
While the Defy 21 and Defy Classic have gone through
numerous iterations that incorporate vibrant colours, the
Zenith boutique-exclusive Black & White editions take
on a drastically different approach with an achromatic
palette. These on-trend reinterpretations of the two most
emblematic models in Zenith’s Defy collection emphasise
their bold architecture through heavily contrasting black
and white. Featuring a matte micro blasted black ceramic
case in 44mm for the Defy 21 and 41mm for the Defy
Classic, the muted finish enhances the sleek lines of the
faceted case as it absorbs light rather than reflect it. They
are paired with white ceramic bezels.
Sporty And Chic
From Bell & Ross, the BR 05 Black Steel and Gold takes
on a sporty chic look. This new addition to the BR 05
urban collection recalls the 80s spirit by mixing two-tone:
satin-finished, and polished steel and 18 carat rose gold.
Featuring the brand’s iconic graphism, the black sunray
dial contrasts with the rose gold applique numerals,
indices, and skeletonised hour and minute hands. The
sapphire glass case back reveals the beating heart of its
movement. The 40mm geometric watch, made of surfaces
and angles, ensures the bracelet can adapt seamlessly to
any wrist. Equipped with a bi-material bracelet for an
elegant look, or a black rubber strap for a sporty touch.
