Zenith’s Surfer Trilogy gets its final chapter, and it’s one hell of a finale. The Defy Skyline Skeleton White Surfer Ceramic lands like a heatwave: crisp, bold, and beach-ready. Built in collaboration with Time+Tide, this limited-edition release combines the brand’s high-performance engineering with 41mm of pure white ceramic—ultra-light, scratch-resistant, and durable enough to withstand a salty ocean breeze.
Under the hood? Zenith’s skeletonized El Primero 3620 SK movement is a descendant of the iconic chronograph lineage. It hums along at 36,000 VpH, complete with a 1/10th second counter at 6 o’clock and a 55-hour power reserve. That open dial fades from deep marine blue to breezy sky tones, channeling sunlit swells and longboard mornings.
But the real flex? A glow-in-the-dark five-pointed star logo—only the second in Zenith history—bridging the movement’s architecture with Super-LumiNova. On the wrist, it’s all summer swagger: clean, crisp, and cutting-edge. Whether you wear the integrated ceramic bracelet or swap it for the textured rubber strap (thanks to the quick-release system), this piece stays versatile and ready for action.
With just 100 pieces available globally, the Defy Skyline Skeleton White Surfer is both an elite collector’s item and the ultimate warm-weather statement. Dropping at $19,600, this is the watch for those who chase the horizon—and don’t mind a few envious stares while doing it.
