Zenith Reveals Its LVMH Watch Week 2025 Novelties
Featuring a new Defy Skyline Chronograph Skeleton and a gem-set Chronomaster Sport Rainbow.
Returning to LVMH Watch Week this year, Zenith has unveiled two remarkable iterations of its iconic timekeepers. Shifting its focus from the Defy model in 2023 and the Chronomaster in 2024, the Swiss watchmaker is now spotlighting both series equally with the introduction of the new Defy Skyline Chronograph Skeleton and Chronomaster Sport Rainbow.

Joining Zenith’s Defy Skyline collection is a duo of skeletonized chronographs that embodies a sport-luxe appeal. Clad in stainless steel, the new Defy Skyline Chronograph Skeleton arrives in its usual octagonal case, measuring 42mm in diameter. It proudly wears its mechanical prowess on its face in the form of an openworked dial, offering a clear view of the El Primero 3600SK movement. Synonymous with previous Defy Skyline references, the caliber can also be admired through the open caseback alongside its star-shaped oscillating weight.
Coming in black and blue, the timepiece is priced at $15,500 USD and is accompanied by a steel bracelet alongside an additional rubber strap that matches its respective dial.

Zenith has shown an experimental spirit when it comes to introducing eccentric builds for the Defy series, but rarely does it dabble its hands in the sphere of gem-set novelties. Last year, the Maison introduced its first-ever bejeweled Chronomaster Sport, which starred a rose gold build with blue, dark gray and silver-gray gems. Building on that particular model’s success, Zenith takes the luxurious and colorful concept up a notch with the Chronomaster Sport Rainbow — which, as its name suggests, features rainbow-colored gemstones.
The gem-set bezel and baguette-cut sapphire indices echo one another in a full rainbow spectrum. This is paired with a black lacquered dial plate, which allows the vibrant gems to shine without distraction. Meanwhile, the subdials are doused in blue, dark gray and silver-gray, echoing the Chronomaster model’s iconic tri-color palette.
Priced at $112,100 USD, the timepiece is housed in a 41mm-sized case, which is composed of 18-carat white gold and is paired with a matching white gold bracelet. It’s geared with a 60-hour power reserve and runs on Zenith’s prized El Primero 3600 movement.
