Zenith Launches Three DEFY Timepieces for LVMH Watch Week

This year’s LVMH Watch Week has begun. Taking place in Singapore for the first time ever, a handful of luxury timepieces will be released over the course of the event. To start, Zenith unveils three timepieces from its prominent DEFY series, comprising the DEFY Skyline Skeleton, DEFY Skyline 36mm, and the DEFY Extreme Glacier.

DEFY Skyline Skeleton

As the central launch of LVMH Watch Week, the DEFY Skyline Skeleton is the first of its kind to be fitted with a 1/10th of a second indicator. Its design draws inspiration from modern cityscapes and seamlessly integrates the El Primero automatic open-worked movement with the model’s signature star-shaped open dial. Honoring the robustness and durability of its predecessors, the piece features a 41mm stainless steel case with sharply defined edges, along with a faceted bezel that references early DEFY timepieces. Priced at $11,000 USD, the DEFY Skyline Skeleton comes on a satin-brushed steel bracelet, with additional rubber straps available in blue or black.

DEFY Skyline 36mm

Zenith updates the iconic DEFY Skyline watch in a slimmer 36mm case size, while also retaining the original models’ defining characteristics — from the octagonal steel case, faceted bezel, and sunburst-patterned dial complete with the watchmaker’s emblematic four-pointed star. Available in pink, blue, and green in a regular or diamond-set bezel.

DEFY Extreme Glacier

A brand new iteration of Zenith’s DEFY Extreme model, the Glacier is rendered in an icy palette, incorporated with Chalcedony gemstones that emulate the hues of the boundless Arctic horizon. Given the natures of gemstones, every piece is unique with its own colors and striations, making no two piece the same. Retailing for $26,100 USD, the DEFY Extreme Glacier is powered by the El Primero 21 Calibre, which provides it with 50 hours of power reserve.

All three models will be available at Zenith boutiques and authorized retailers worldwide. For more information, head over to Zenith’s official website.

Elsewhere in watches, Leica’s L1 and L2 timepieces are now available at its Hong Kong Flagship.
