Zenith Defy Skyline Tourbillon 03.9300.3630 Blue Dial Stainless Steel Launched in 2024 as an extension of the Defy collection, inspired by Zenith’s family of 1969 tough sports watches named after the Defi collection of pocketwatches, the Defy Skyline Tourbillon is one of Zenith’s most impressive offerings yet. Boasting a twelve-sided bezel and an angular stainless steel case, the Defy Skyline Tourbillon’s sporty aesthetic undersells the amount of artisanal craftsmanship required to create its dial and movement. Powered by the automatic El Primero cal. 3630 high-frequency manufacture movement, the Defy Skyline Tourbillon is one of Zenith’s finest watches. Beating at an impressive 5Hz, the El Primero cal. 3630 boasts an impressive 60-hour power reserve and displays more elaborate finishings than its predecessor, the cal. 3620. Featuring an openworked star-shaped winding rotor that sits atop bridges decorated with Côtes de Genève stripes that are arranged in a sunburst pattern radiating out from the back of the tourbillon, the movement echoes the aesthetic achieved by the Defy Skyline’s stunning blue dial, which also features an elaborate pattern that emanates out from the tourbillon’s aperture at 6 o’clock. An impressive example of Zenith’s abilities as a watchmaker, it is timepieces like the Defy Skyline Tourbillon that showcase why the brand has been a supplier of movements to other brands for years.
THE DIAL Echoing the movement's finishing, the Defy Skyline Tourbillon's blue dial features a star-studded sunburst pattern that radiates out from the tourbillon's aperture at 6 o'clock.
THE CONSTRUCTION Aggressive, angular and sporty, the Defy Skyline Tourbillon wears exactly as one would expect an integrated bracelet sports watch to wear, but with the horological might of a tourbillon-weilding engine purring inside.
