ZENITH DEFY Skyline Tourbillon
ZENITH continues to push the boundaries of modern watchmaking. The DEFY Skyline, introduced in 2022, quickly became a symbol of contemporary elegance. With bold lines, integrated architecture, and cutting-edge craftsmanship, it captures the spirit of modern horology.
Now, ZENITH takes this icon even further. The DEFY Skyline Tourbillon appears for the first time in radiant rose gold, paired with a deep brick-red dial that draws inspiration from ZENITH’s historic Manufacture in Le Locle.
A Modern Classic, Reimagined
The DEFY Skyline stands as a bridge between past and future. Its design channels the original DEFY of 1969 — a watch known for its resilience and character. The new rose-gold edition gives that strength a softer glow.
Every angle of the 41 mm case reveals precision. Brushed and polished surfaces play with light, showing off the watch’s architectural silhouette. The warm tone of gold enhances its geometry, while maintaining the DEFY’s urban edge.
The dial is mesmerising. Tiny engraved four-pointed stars radiate from the open tourbillon at six o’clock. The effect is hypnotic — a constellation in motion. The rich brick-red hue nods to the Manufacture’s red-and-white brick façade, linking the brand’s heritage to this new chapter.
The Beating Heart of Innovation
Inside the watch lies the El Primero 3630 calibre, entirely developed and built by ZENITH. It beats at 36,000 vibrations per hour and offers a 50-hour power reserve. The tourbillon carriage, weighing just 0.25 grams, demonstrates the brand’s mastery of precision engineering.
Every detail of the movement reflects ZENITH’s obsession with beauty and performance. The surfaces feature laser-engraved côtes de Genève radiating outward like sunlight. The rose-gold oscillating weight, shaped as an open star, allows a clear view of the movement beneath.
Comfort Meets Versatility
The DEFY Skyline Tourbillon comes on an integrated rose-gold H-link bracelet that flows seamlessly from case to clasp. It feels as refined as it looks.
ZENITH also includes a brick-red rubber strap that matches the dial’s tone. The brand’s intuitive quick-change system makes switching effortless — no tools, no fuss.
A Tribute to Heritage and Modernity
The DEFY Skyline Tourbillon in Rose Gold unites craftsmanship, innovation, and emotion. It pays tribute to ZENITH’s historic roots while embracing modern watchmaking’s boldest ideas.
It’s a timepiece for those who appreciate balance — between strength and sophistication, tradition and progress.
