160 years of avant garde innovation

The Zenith Defy Skyline Chronograph celebrates the maker’s 160th anniversary with a striking monochrome blue version, built around a 42mm ceramic case with a multi-faceted bezel and featuring a dial adorned with an engraved geometric motif inspired by the brand’s four-pointed star. Powered by the El Primero 3600 high-frequency automatic manufacture movement with the very first 1/10th of a second indicator. Delivered with both a steel bracelet and a blue patterned rubber strap that can easily be swapped thanks to our clever strap changing system.

In celebration of 160 years at the forefront of Swiss watchmaking, Zenith introduces this combination of technical innovation and bold design. Crafted in blue ceramic with a blue dial engraved with the collection’s signature starry sky pattern, this limited-edition watch reflects the vastness of the night sky, inspiring the most daring among us to reach new heights of excellence. With the El Primero 3600 calibre displaying 1/10th of a second, this timepiece ensures every fraction of a second counts in the pursuit of perfection.

The result of over 50 years in mastering the automatic high-frequency chronograph movement. The latest version of the El Primero calibre, dubbed the El Primero 3600, operates at the high frequency of 5Hz, with the ability to offer a true 1/10th of second indication. Its autonomy has also been efficiently extended to a power reserve of 60 hours.
