Zenith employs a new El Primero calibre with a Tourbillon device in the Defy Skyline, and offers the watch in two versions, in steel or black ceramic.
Presented two years ago, the Defy Skyline collection by Zenith immediately attracted the attention of watch enthusiasts, thanks to its clean and recognisable design and the adoption of an integrated bracelet. Recently, the Le Locle-based house has expanded this successful collection with the launch of two models animated by a new high-frequency El Primero calibre (36,000 vibrations per hour) with tourbillon device.
The gauge adopted is therefore theEl Primero 3630, which guarantees a 60-hour power reserve and uses a star-shaped rotor. The cage of the tourbillon device (which completes one revolution in 60 seconds and is composed of 56 elements), visible at 6 o'clock on the dial side, is attached to a mirror-polished bridge and takes the form of a four-pointed star. The same star motif is found on the dial with a soleil effect, with a radial development radiating out from the tourbillon cage.
Defy Skyline Tourbillon: two versions available
The new watch is offered with a steel or black ceramic case.
Two versions of the new Zenith Defy Skyline Tourbillon are available, namely with 41 mm case and steel bracelet or all black ceramic. The steel model has a blue dial, while the ceramic one has a black dial, with SuperLuminova luminescent applied markers and indexes, rhodium-plated on the blue dial version and rose gold-plated for the black dial version.
Both models are equipped with a additional rubber strap, blue or black, with a folding clasp and tool-free quick-change device. The Defy Skyline Tourbillon by Zenith is guaranteed waterproof to 10 atmospheresalso thanks to the adoption of the screw-locked crown. These new watches are available at Zenith boutiques and on the company's website, as well as from authorised dealers around the world.
Prices: 59,600 euro (steel); 70,400 euro (black ceramic).
