Last year, Ressence unveiled the Type 8 to the excitement of their fans. Now, Zenith is making waves with the release of their new Defy Skyline Chronograph Skeleton, a fully fleshed out addition to their Defy collection. As a long-time fan of the Zenith Defy, I have always appreciated its adventurous and modern design. With the new chronograph skeleton version, it is clear that Zenith is not ignoring the collection anymore.
The Defy Skyline Chronograph Skeleton replaces the well-loved Defy Classic line. These medium-sized and thin sports watches were known for their design-oriented features, especially the skeletonized versions. The new skeletonized version of the Skyline is powered by the El Primero 3600 movement, running at 5 Hz and capable of measuring time to 1/10th of a second. The skeletonization of the dial allows for prominent hour markers and subdials, striking a balance between legibility and avant-garde aesthetics.
The Defy Skyline Chronograph Skeleton comes in two versions: one with a black dial and one in blue. Both are mounted on bracelets that match the stainless steel case and include a rubber strap with a steel folding clasp. These chronographs have a water resistance of 100 meters, making them suitable for everyday wear. The retail price for these timepieces is $15,500.
With the introduction of the Defy Skyline Chronograph Skeleton, Zenith has created a comprehensive and modern collection that caters to sports watch enthusiasts. The combination of adventurous design, technical innovation, and legible aesthetics makes the new Defy a standout in the watch landscape.
Overall, the Defy Skyline Chronograph Skeleton is a testament to Zenith's commitment to creating timepieces that are both functional and visually striking. It is a welcome addition to the Defy collection and will surely captivate watch enthusiasts around the world.
