Just two weeks after the 2023 edition of Watches & Wonders, we’re still feeling the excitement (and exhaustion) of 9 lengthy days of watches.

There is the funky blue, the ruby red and the gradient brown, and we were right to expect another bright-coloured edition of the Defy Revival by Zenith to join the series (like the blue A3651), but no.
