Zenith Defy Skyline 41mm 03.9300.3620/01.I001 Full set NEW 3y warranty

Introduced in the late 1960s and designed by the legendary Gerald Genta, the Zenith Defy made a lasting impact with its imaginative case architecture, earning it the memorable nickname, The Safe Of Time. Genta’s touch, combined with features like shock and water resistance, propelled the Defy into the realm of timeless classics, resonating with the evolving tastes of the tumultuous 70s.

The latest iteration, aptly named the Defy Skyline, retains the impeccable case and bracelet geometry of the Defy Classic while introducing a distinctive vintage-Defy-style dodecagonal bezel. Setting it apart further is the new movement, featuring a mesmerizing 1/10th second sub-dial set against a striking starry texture, which makes it all the more mesmerising to look at. Zenith’s choice of dial was widely criticized when the Skyline was initially unveiled, and we were among its chief critics, but seeing it up close and personal, we can confidently say that it has become one of our favorite Defy dials. Adorned with the staple Zenith hands and faceted indices, it truly is a sight to behold.

Revealed through the display caseback, the El Primero 3620 beats confidently and beautifully. Operating at the typical El Primero frequency of 36,000 vph, it boasts a 60-hour power reserve, sharing architectural similarities with the El Primero 3600 1/10th second movement found in the Chronomaster Sport.

Our offering is brand new and comes complete with a full set of boxes and papers.
