Swiss watchmaker Zenith has just added to their DEFY XTREME 2009 collection with an exotic limited edition timepiece. Capable of handling extreme gravity conditions, the Defy Xtreme Tourbillon Zero-G features a tourbillon carriage in a free-moving gyroscopic-styled housing. It also includes a series of conical shaped regulator gears so that the tourbillon always points down no matter how it’s positioned, ensuring optimal amplitude for the spiral balance-wheel. This Zero-G Defy Xtreme also features a multi-layered dial clad in Hesalite glass, carbon fiber and aluminum beneath two sapphire glasses, a protected crown, helium valve and a titanium bracelet.   If you’ve got some spare folding money laying around, you can take one of these home for the mind-blowing price of $500,000.

The Defy series by Swiss watch manufacturer Zenith is a true revolution in both aesthetics and technology.  With new generation of movements that are strengthened by anti-shock bridges to assure you of continuous, accurate time, this piece also contains an automatic chronograph movement with a power reserve to further assist the high performance engines this timepiece contains. All of those delicate, intricate materials are protected by reinforced carbon fiber, composite materials and Kevlar inserts. The icing on the cake is the brushed rose gold and titanium bracelet. We don’t know if it can take a bullet, but we do know that if you ever decide to try, you will look good doing so.  [$24,900 at zenith-watches]
