The DEFY Skyline constellation is now complete, marking a significant milestone for ZENITH’s renowned line. Building upon the legacy of the ZENITH brand, known for its cutting-edge and versatile timepieces, the new DEFY Skyline Chronograph introduces the latest iteration of the El Primero automatic high-frequency chronograph calibre, featuring a 1/10th of a second chronograph function.
Since its inception in the early 1970s, the DEFY collection has been synonymous with El Primero chronographs. Designed as a modern vessel for this groundbreaking calibre, the DEFY series has consistently delivered precision timing, even in dynamic environments. With over 50 years of innovation behind it, the DEFY Skyline Chronograph represents the pinnacle of chronograph design for the 21st century.
The architecture of the DEFY Skyline Chronograph showcases a blend of modernity and tradition. The 42mm steel case, reminiscent of the original DEFY octagonal design, features a multi-sided bezel for a contemporary aesthetic. The pushers and screw-down crown, adorned with the star emblem, ensure both functionality and water resistance up to 100 meters.
Available in metallic black, blue, or silver, the dial of the DEFY Skyline Chronograph combines the signature starry sky-patterned motif with the classic El Primero dial layout. Three oversized counters display elapsed time while a date window sits discreetly at 4:30. The flange ring, with its 1/10th of a second scale, echoes the dodecagonal bezel and hour markers.
At the heart of the DEFY Skyline Chronograph beats the El Primero 3600 calibre, boasting a high-frequency rate of 5Hz (36,000 vibrations per hour). This mechanical marvel, visible through the display back, offers a power reserve of 60 hours. Additionally, the integrated quick strap-change mechanism allows for seamless versatility, enabling effortless transition between the three-link steel bracelet and the star-patterned rubber strap.
The DEFY Skyline Chronograph is now available at all ZENITH boutiques and authorized retailers, offering enthusiasts the opportunity to experience the next evolution of precision timekeeping.
