After drawing inspiration from nature, Zenith recently launched a timepiece with a green, jungle-like look. The Zenith Defy Extreme Jungle is the last addition to a series of three watches inspired by harsh environments—previous models were based on glacier and desert environments.

Like its counterparts, this watch is constructed from durable materials. The casing features different types of natural stones, thanks to Zenith’s high-quality watchmaking workmanship and technical mastery.

While the casing is manufactured from titanium, it is lightweight and can sit perfectly on the wrist. Since the bezel and pushers are made from tiger’s eye quartz, the casing looks very stylish and modern. Featuring multiple color striations, the tiger’s eye quartz gives the watch a unique mystique-like look that accentuates the jungle theme.

Speaking of which, the dial has a beautiful jungle green color complemented by a brown shade.

Designed to offer a high-quality horological experience, the Zenith Defy Extreme Jungle has three subdials: a chronograph power-reserve indication, a 60-second counter, and a 30-minute counter.

It also draws power from the El Primero 9004 caliber, capable of measuring up to 1/100th of a second for precision and accuracy.

Even though Zenith focused on aesthetics during the design phase, this watch can reach depths of about 200 meters.

It is equipped with an interchangeable mechanism for switching straps, offering multiple styling options. The watch features a green strap that blends smoothly with the dial, but it can be easily swapped.

As a limited edition watch, only 50 pieces were rolled out into the market, and each retails at $30,000.

Massena LAB joins hands with Raúl Pagès once more on a new masterpiece. They worked on other models in the past (Absinthe and Magraph), and the latest, Noctograph, is an extension of that. While a few components were passed down from previous generations, the two reimagined the front face to make the new watch stylish.

Massena LAB is quite popular for creative designs, cleverly implemented to spice up different models. Raul Pages, on the other hand, is a talented watchmaker who is quite popular for his minimalist style, often accentuated by a retro aesthetic. This new addition bridges two worlds with a blue dial with different shades(dark and light hues), creating a beautiful interplay of light and shadows. The Noctograph also features a signature that reads this—Massena.

Garmin Instinct 3

Garmin presents the new Instinct 3 collection of tactical watches with advanced tactical functionalities to enhance the user experience. It features three watches—a 45mm solar version, a 50 mm solar option, and a 45 mm AMOLED piece. The solar variants are designed to offer unlimited battery power to tackle the toughest outdoor expeditions. A bigger screen means more surface area for solar energy.

While the battery goes a long way in providing an enhanced user experience, the watch’s durability is also quite crucial, so the brand upgraded the bezel and reinforced it for multiple activities. The solar functionality is also more powerful than that featured on the previous model. It’s about five times more efficient than the Instinct 2 feature.

The new Christopher Ward watch will take your breath away with its striking color accents and mechanical look. It is based on one of the most sought-after flagship models, the Twelve. The latest addition leans towards the open-dial design and is highlighted by a spectacular view of components featured in the watch’s heart.

According to Christopher Ward, the movement was developed to sit in the new watch and make it look more stylish. The brand’s first-ever movement was rolled out in 2014, so it’s now raising the bar with a second in-house caliber—the brainchild of Feller Pivotages SA, a talented escapement developer. Designed to keep up with the times, the caliber CW-003 is quite powerful with a 144-hour power reserve.
