A Zero-G Watch to Defy Xtremes

Juniper Foo | Feb 27, 2008

If you thought only cockroaches, ants and bees would survive a nuclear holocaust, here's something else to add to the rarified list--Zenith's Defy Xtreme Zero-G Watch. Its makers have apparently imbued this timepiece with the powers of Superman since it not only defies gravity (being accurate even in extreme gravity), it's waterproof down to 1,000ft. You can read about the technology behind this feat at the Web site. Did we mention it's only US$500,000? Yes, that's five zeros. Nothing wrong with your eyes.

As for bodywork, it's armored in a blackened titanium body, with a titanium strap sporting Kevlar inserts, and 294 ultra-complicated parts. Unfortunately, even if this Zenith defies the worst that nature can throw at it, it's doubtful the wearer of this watch will be concerned by then about its timekeeping accuracy.
