About the Item

Zenith Defy 01.0060.345 – 38mm – Blue/Grey “Linen” Dial – Original Sharkskin Strap – 1970s A very cool and increasingly hard‑to‑find Zenith Defy reference 01.0060.345, dating from the 1970s and presented in very good condition throughout. This is a classic Defy with strong vintage character, featuring a beautifully textured blue‑grey dial whose fine wave pattern gives an almost linen‑like appearance. A proper 1970s sports watch with real presence and originality. Recently tested and passed through our workshop, this example is running strongly and comes with our 12‑month mechanical guarantee.

Our View The Zenith Defy is one of the brand’s most characterful vintage lines, and this reference is a particularly cool example. The textured blue‑grey dial, original sharkskin strap and compact 35mm case make it a standout piece from the 1970s. Examples in this condition, retaining original strap and buckle, are becoming increasingly scarce — and you may struggle to find another like it.
