Introducing the Zenith Defy Skyline Tourbillon Skeleton, a masterpiece that elevates the collection's architectural design to new heights of luxury and complication. This timepiece is a testament to Zenith's modern vision of the integrated sports watch, combining angular precision with the brand's expertise in high-frequency movements. The Defy Skyline Tourbillon Skeleton is the first tourbillon skeleton in the Skyline family, seamlessly blending structural transparency with the dynamic energy of the El Primero 3630 SK calibre. The 41mm case, crafted from 18k rose gold, features a dodecagonal bezel and faceted surfaces, showcasing a harmonious interplay of brushed and polished finishes. The open-worked construction reveals the intricate movement, with a blue PVD-treated mainplate and bridges arranged around the central tourbillon aperture, maintaining the Skyline's iconic four-pointed star design in a three-dimensional framework. Rhodium-plated chamfers and gold-plated, faceted hour markers and hands coated with Super-LumiNova SLN C1 ensure exceptional legibility against the luminous blue backdrop.
Powering the Zenith Defy Skyline Tourbillon Skeleton is the El Primero 3630 SK, an automatic, high-frequency movement operating at 36,000 vibrations per hour (5 Hz). The calibre's centerpiece is a one-minute tourbillon positioned at 6 o'clock, comprising 56 components and visible through the sapphire crystal front and back. The skeletonized barrel reveals the mainspring in motion, providing a power reserve of 50 hours. The movement is finished with blue PVD-treated surfaces, rhodium-plated bevels, and a solid gold oscillating weight adorned with satin-brushed finishing. The watch is equipped with Zenith's quick strap-change system, offering a solid rose gold bracelet with a matching folding clasp and a blue rubber strap embossed with the brand's star pattern, both featuring gold clasps.
Limited to 50 pieces, the Zenith Defy Skyline Tourbillon Skeleton is available through Zenith boutiques, authorized retailers, and online. Priced at CHF 91,900, EUR 102,800, or USD 103,700, this timepiece is a testament to Zenith's commitment to innovation and craftsmanship. For further details, visit Zenith-Watches.com.
