The Zenith Defy Skyline is the octagonal, integrated-bracelet sports watch in Zenith's Defy family, launched in early 2022 with a 41 mm steel time-only model. Its shape and name trace back to the first Defy wristwatch of 1969. The original has a faceted bezel, a dial engraved with a grid of four-pointed stars, a date at 3 o'clock and 100 m water resistance. Zenith added a 36 mm model and a skeleton version in 2023, followed by chronograph and tourbillon models.
Which Zenith Defy Skyline movement should I choose?
Choose the 41 mm Defy Skyline for the El Primero 3620, or the 36 mm for the Elite 670. The El Primero 3620 beats at 5 Hz (36,000 vibrations per hour), holds about 60 hours of power reserve and drives a small sub-dial at 9 o'clock that shows tenths of a second; Zenith presents it as the first such display on a three-hand watch. On time-only models this is a constant seconds display, not a chronograph. The 36 mm uses the Elite 670 with about 50 hours of reserve. The chronograph uses the El Primero 3600.
What sizes does the Zenith Defy Skyline come in?
The Zenith Defy Skyline comes in 36 mm, 41 mm and 42 mm case sizes at La Maison Monaco. The 36 mm starts at $13,000 CAD and suits smaller wrists or anyone who prefers a compact watch. The 41 mm steel original is 11.6 mm thick and starts at $13,600; the 41 mm skeleton versions are $16,600 in steel and $26,000 in black ceramic. The 42 mm black ceramic Defy Skyline Chronograph is $31,900, and the gold Defy Skyline Tourbillon, at $140,200, tops the range. Dial colours include blue, silver, black, pink and skeleton.
