Zenith’s new DEFY Skyline Tourbillon takes the brand’s most architectural timepiece to dazzling new heights—this time rendered entirely in rose gold. The latest iteration of the Skyline series fuses the maison’s century-old horological heritage with avant-garde design, highlighted by a deep brick-red dial inspired by the red-and-white brickwork of Zenith’s historic Manufacture in Le Locle.
At 41mm, the DEFY Skyline Tourbillon balances presence and refinement. Its geometric case features alternating satin-brushed and polished surfaces that play with light, emphasizing the timepiece’s sharp architectural edges. The engraved four-pointed star motif radiating from the 6 o’clock tourbillon aperture underscores the model’s cosmic inspiration, while rose-gold hands with Super-LumiNova ensure both elegance and legibility.
Inside, Zenith’s El Primero 3630 caliber—a fully in-house automatic movement—beats at an impressive 5Hz (36,000 VpH). With a 50-hour power reserve and a 0.25-gram tourbillon carriage, this watch represents Zenith’s relentless pursuit of precision and craftsmanship. The openworked rose-gold rotor, shaped as a star, mirrors the celestial geometry of the dial.
The watch comes with an integrated rose-gold H-link bracelet and an additional brick-red rubber strap, both easily interchangeable via Zenith’s quick-change system. Water-resistant to 100 meters and priced at $93,300, this exceptional timepiece proves that even in 2025, Zenith continues to push boundaries—balancing art, innovation, and mechanical mastery.
