Dual Silhouettes Of Modernity: The Defy Skyline 36 In Refined Silver, In Two Distinct Expressions Of Urban Elegance

Introduction of a refined silver-toned dial for the 36mm version, offered in two distinct expressions

Introduced in 2022, the DEFY Skyline embodies a dynamic and architectural spirit, drawing from the forward-thinking design codes of the late 1960s DEFY models. Fully aligned with contemporary lifestyles, the line has quickly become one of the pillars of the ZENITH portfolio, evolving into a versatile collection expressed through multiple sizes, materials and configurations. This evolution continues with the introduction of a refined silver-toned dial for the 36mm version, offered in two distinct expressions, a sleek, minimalist interpretation and a more radiant variant enhanced with brilliant-cut diamonds.

Originally offered in deep blue, ice-blue, pastel green and pastel pink, the unisex DEFY Skyline 36 now welcomes a new interpretation distinguished by its elegant silver-coloured dial. The signature geometric motif of engraved four-pointed stars remains central to its identity, a modern reinterpretation of the historic “double Z” logo from the 1960s. Luminescent hour markers and hands ensure optimal readability in low-light conditions. Available with or without brilliant-cut diamonds set on its twelve-sided bezel, the compact 36mm faceted steel case stands out with sharp lines and a silhouette reminiscent of contemporary urban landscapes. Its screw-down crown provides water resistance to 10 ATM, balancing refined aesthetics with everyday functionality.

The DEFY Skyline 36 is powered by the Elite 670 automatic calibre, visible through its exhibition case back. Finished in a sleek, modern silver tone and fitted with an open star-shaped rotor, the movement operates at 4 Hz and delivers a 50-hour power reserve.

Reflecting the adaptable nature of the collection, this new silver-dial version is equipped with a practical interchangeable-strap system. With a simple push of the button located on the back of the case, the integrated two-link steel bracelet can be effortlessly exchanged for the additional black rubber strap adorned with a star pattern.

The DEFY Skyline 36 with silver-coloured dial is available at ZENITH boutiques, online, and through authorised retailers worldwide.
