The Zenith Defy El Primero 21, first seen at BaselWorld 2017, utilizes the El Primero 9004 movement to achieve 1/100th of a second precision while honoring the brand's chronograph legacy. This model also marked the return of the Defy name. Reference 97.9000.9004/01.R787, released in 2020, resulted from a partnership with Land Rover. It features a matte titanium case paired with a matte grey dial.
