Zenith Defy Skyline Gold Edition This festive season, Zenith celebrates the spirit of celebration in gold with the launch of four dazzling Defy timepieces. These pieces perfectly blend the collection's iconic design and complex functions in a precious form, showcasing the full scope of the Defy collection, from precise timekeeping to high-frequency chronographs, from skeletonization to the exquisite craftsmanship of the tourbillon. Crafted entirely in gold, and for the first time paired with a matching gold bracelet, the watches reinterpret the collection's elegance with a radiant glow, further enhanced by the brilliance and unique charm of the gold plating.

The Defy Skyline watch boasts a bold silhouette, yet remains true to Zenith's classic design. Inspired by the iconic octagonal geometry of early Defy watches, it is not a simple replica, but a reinterpretation with renewed brilliance and vitality. Like a dazzling modern cityscape, it shines with timeless radiance; its bold architectural design, now adorned in gold, embodies both traditional warmth and festive splendor.

The Defy Skyline Embraces the Golden Light

This gold-plated Defy Skyline watch offers a modern and sophisticated reinterpretation of Zenith's bold urban iconic timepiece. Crafted entirely from precious metals, the 41mm case and seamless bracelet exude a substantial yet balanced beauty. The satin-finished olive-green sunburst dial reflects ever-changing light with every turn, harmonizing beautifully with the warm hues of gold. The engraved four-pointed star adds depth and vibrancy, while the matching date disc at 3 o'clock ensures visual harmony.

Interior-mounted, the El Primero 3620 automatic high-frequency movement powers a unique 1/10th of a second indicator at 9 o'clock, subtly reminding the wearer of the precision and performance defined by the Defy collection.

Defy Skyline Chronograph in Rose Gold and Slate Grey

This 42mm diameter Defy Skyline chronograph is the first to be available in rose gold, injecting a warm and sophisticated new dimension into the collection's bold geometric design. The luster of the precious metal contrasts sharply with the gradient slate grey dial, engraved with Zenith's iconic starry night pattern that shimmers in the light. Inside, the watch houses the legendary Zenith El Primero 3600 automatic movement, the latest generation of this legendary chronograph movement, operating at 5 Hz (36,000 vibrations per hour) and accurate to 1/10th of a second. The central chronograph hand rotates once every 10 seconds, creating a dynamic visual effect to showcase the high-frequency precision. Through the sapphire crystal case back, the movement's column wheel, horizontal clutch, and 22K gold skeletonized rotor are clearly visible, demonstrating the perfect fusion of craftsmanship and superior performance.

The Defy Skyline Skeleton Radiates the Dazzling Light of Skeleton Design

This 41mm rose gold Defy Skyline Skeleton watch elevates skeleton watchmaking to a new level of elegance and brilliance. Its sculptural skeletonized dial and movement are finished in matching rose gold, creating a captivating interplay of light, depth, and transparency. The watch blends modern design with Zenith's cutting-edge watchmaking expertise; every component of the high-frequency mechanical movement is clearly visible through the skeletonized dial and sapphire crystal case back. At the heart of the timepiece is the El Primero 3620 SK movement, a gold-plated skeletonized high-frequency automatic movement. It directly drives the 1/10th-second indicator via the escapement, operating at a frequency of 5 Hz (36,000 vibrations per hour), resulting in a natural, precise, and rhythmic timekeeping effect. The tapered rose gold case and integrated bracelet, adorned with alternating satin-brushed and polished surfaces, shimmer with exquisite brilliance under light, showcasing the splendor of modern watchmaking in its most precious form.

The Defy Skyline Tourbillon watch rises in the radiant glow of rose gold.

The Defy Skyline watch, with its first all-rose gold tourbillon, pushes mechanical art to new heights. This extraordinary creation blends Zenith's heritage and innovation, perfectly combining architectural precision with horological poetry. A deep brick-red sunburst dial, engraved with four-pointed stars radiating outwards from the tourbillon window at 6 o'clock, pays homage to Zenith's headquarters in Le Locle, whose iconic red and white brick walls are breathtaking. Inside the 41mm rose gold case, the alternating satin-brushed and polished surfaces highlight the Defy Skyline's bold geometric shape, while the skeletonized star-shaped oscillating weight, in a matching hue, exudes a refined and warm glow. At the heart of this timepiece is the El Primero 3630 automatic high-frequency movement, whose tourbillon cage, shaped like the brand's iconic double-Z star, rotates once every 60 seconds, delivering a breathtakingly dynamic precision. The watch is paired with a tapered rose gold H-link bracelet and comes with a brick-red rubber strap and rose gold folding clasp, perfectly embodying Zenith's relentless pursuit of exceptional brilliance and modern elegance.
