About the Zenith 04.9001.9020/49.R782

Pantone, an Argentinian-Spanish artist, had already worked with Zenith on an earlier Defy 21. Here the movement bridges carry a rainbow gradient in a three-dimensional PVD mixed with silicon particles, the hands are rainbow-coloured too, and the small seconds at 6 o'clock has a moire effect made of thin black and white lines. "Unique Piece" is engraved on the back beneath a blackened star-shaped rotor. Christie's offered the watch on 6 November 2021, raising funds for research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Like the Defy 21 Double Tourbillon Sapphire (04.9000.9020/00.R920), a 10-piece edition in a transparent sapphire case, it runs two independent tourbillons: one at 5 Hz for the time, the other at 50 Hz for a chronograph that reads to 1/100th of a second. Pantone's name also appears on the Defy El Primero 21 Felipe Pantone (49.9008.9004.49.R782), a ceramic chronograph made in 100 pieces.
