The Swiss luxury view maison, ZENITH, has revealed the most current addition to its DEFY Skyline constellation at Watches & Miracles in Geneva this 7 days.
In the notes which accompanied the announcement, the house described the timepiece as a “ all-natural continuation and enlargement of ZENITH’s edgy, all-events line”, introducing that the new observe offered “a new vessel for the Manufacture’s latest iteration of the El Primero automated higher-frequency chronograph calibre, endowed with a 1/10th of a second chronograph functionality.”
Architectural, geometric and intricately faceted, the DEFY Skyline’s 42mm metal scenario presents an up-to-date just take on the earliest DEFY’s octagonal situation with a multi-sided bezel. Retaining the similar DNA of robustness and longevity as its predecessors even though bringing an edgier and additional contemporary aesthetic and proportions. In the DEFY Skyline Chronograph, the pushers follow the sharply drawn traces of the scenario, although the screw-down crown emblazoned with the star emblem can help make certain a water resistance of 100 metres (10ATM).
Out there in metallic black, blue or silver, the DEFY Skyline Chronograph’s dial pairs the collection’s signature starry sky-patterned dial featuring engraved four-pointed stars with the classic El Primero dial configuration. A few a bit outsized and overlapping counters demonstrate the elapsed seconds and minutes of the chronograph, as perfectly as the frequent managing seconds. The date window – matching the color of the dial – is positioned at 4:30, yet another El Primero signature. The flange ring with the 1/10th of a second scale has twelve sides, the form of the dodecagonal bezel and serves as extensions of the hour markers.
Just like in the DEFY Skyline automatic design and its skeleton counterpart, ZENITH continues to supply the 1/10th of a 2nd perform uncovered, now in the form of a1/10th of a second chronograph in the DEFY Skyline Chronograph. This mechanical feat is the result of the El Primero 3600 calibre’s significant-frequency fee of 5Hz (36’000 vibrations for each hour), seen by the exhibit back. Its open star-formed oscillating weight with bidirectional winding effectively supplies a electricity reserve of 60 hrs.
An additional crucial spotlight of the DEFY Skyline is its rapid strap-adjust system built-in right into the situation, allowing for for easy flexibility with out requiring any resources. With the basic force of a button, the three-website link metal bracelet can be swapped with the equipped star-patterned rubber strap with a steel folding buckle.
