Here, Zenith moved forward with a second season with sustainable momentum.
The base watch released is the Defy Extreme Carbon, which Zenith claims is the world's lightest (verifiable claim) and the world's toughest 1/100-second automatic high-frequency chronograph (a bit hard to verify, but meets 1 /100th resolution, maybe).

The strap is rubber, as is the original Defy Extreme Carbon, which we consider an oversized Defy 21 in a carbon fiber case. Continuing the sustainability theme, this strap is made from recycled Continental CrossContact material used in the first season of the season. A concept somewhat reminiscent of the Roger Dubius experiment.
