ZENITH, the Official Timekeeper and Founding Partner of Extreme E championship has created a special Box Set comprising of each pieces of four DEFY Extreme E Season 2 edition watches.
Ahead of the debut of the 2023 Extreme E championship, the Swiss Manufacture is offering a unique opportunity to acquire all four editions of the DEFY Extreme E pieces in a single boxed set – all bearing the special limited edition number of “0/20”.
Each of the four pieces bears the official colours of a championship race: Yellow for Desert X Prix, orange for Island X Prix, purple for Energy X Prix and coppery-brown for Copper X Prix. Crafted in lightweight yet rugged carbon fibre and titanium, each timepiece houses the high-frequency 1/100th of a second El Primero 21 movement.
Bringing sustainability and environmental awareness to the forefront, the DEFY Extreme E limited editions are delivered with a rubber strap infused with materials of upcycled Continental CrossContact tires that were used in the first season’s races.
These four watches come packaged in a suitably sturdy waterproof and crushproof watch case inspired by the extreme conditions of the rally, incorporating various upcycled elements from the side-lines of the first season’s races. The case’s lid coating is made from E-grip recycled tires, while the plate covering is made from parts of an Extreme E racing tarpaulin.
In addition to the box set, the buyer will receive rare collectibles and gain access to unique experiences, including a helmet from season 2 signed by Extreme E teams and drivers. An invitation to one race from the upcoming Extreme E 2023 season is also offered as part of the set, complete with a VIP pass and accommodation aboard the St Helena ship for one night.
The buyer will also have the opportunity to spend time with Extreme E founder Alejandro Agag and ZENITH CEO Julien Tornare on the sidelines of the race.
The Extreme E Desert X Prix races will take place in NEOM in Saudi Arabia on March 11-12, 2023.
