Zenith DEFY Skyline Blue Dial

The series was first introduced in 2022 and immediately became much loved and sought after by fans of the brand. Its goal is to become the flagship of the Defy collection, which in turn is often called "the locomotive of Zenith" due to the sales volumes it brings to the brand, as well as the fact that it is here that all innovations in the field of movements, design, and technology are launched. We cannot help but start with the dial, as it is the most impressive thing about this watch – here, for the first time, a so-called "metallic dial" is used with repeating four-pointed stars from the old Zenith logo. The other distinctive feature is the shape of the case – the base is the familiar one from the Defy series, but the difference comes from the bezel, which is octagonal. This is another sign that the brand, with this series, is striving to enter the "big leagues". The next proof of this is the bracelet – it is of the newest design, semi-integrated and with a quick-change system, which is again applied for the first time on Zenith's steel watches. A new crown, unlike any other, has also been developed especially for this model. And of course, the movement – here, for the first time, the new El Primero 3620 is used, based on the El Primero 3600 introduced the previous year (with the same architecture, but without a chronograph function). This is an in-house caliber, operating at 36,000 vibrations, with 35 jewels and a 60-hour reserve. The watch is truly impressive, and we sincerely hope that it will become a worthy part of a connoisseur and expert's collection, because such a fine example at such a reasonable price for this class would be difficult to find again.
