replica Zenith DEFY Skyline Skeleton
The launch of Zenith's latest El Primero proves that smaller dials can do more
While companies often focus on their most iconic watches, leaving older models in limbo, Zenith has reinvented the Defy collection as a strong pillar of the brand.
Just over a year ago, Zenith took major steps to expand its Defy collection, starting with the Defy Revival A3642, which played to the strengths of Zenith’s celebration of its heritage, and shortly thereafter with the surprise release of the Defy Skyline, a Three-hand El Primero sports replica watches for sale.
This year, it's taken a step further with the new Defy Skyline Skeleton, which draws inspiration from the brand's Defy Skeleton and highlights the remarkable and iconic El Primero movement inside.
The watch features a black and blue open dial with four-pointed star motifs, triangles and boomerang motifs cut out of the dial, leaving some superstructure leading to the outer minute track, and rhodium-plated faceted hour markers coated with Super-LumiNova. Below is the skeletonized movement, in the same color as the dial, as is the satin-finished star rotor.
But it's not just a cutout version of last year's Skyline. The basic movement is the same, a three-hand automatic El Primero 3620, but the first thing you'll notice is the placement of the 1/10th of a second subdial (driven directly by the watch's 5Hz escapement) moved to six o'clock and the date completely gone . However, the crown remains in its normal three o'clock position. The movement has a 60-hour power reserve.luxury replica watches
The steel case has the same angular shape, 41mm size and 12-sided faceted bezel. It also features a screw-down crown that helps give the watch 100 meters of water resistance. Finally, the watch is equipped with a quick-change strap system that allows you to easily switch between steel and rubber bracelets.
Zenith, you satisfied my curiosity. Now you have my attention.
One of the first Zenith watches I saw in the wild was the Defy Extreme, a titanium chronograph with an El Primero 21 double escapement. There's a futuristic, intense and almost Terminator feel to it that leads me to believe that a 45mm x 15.4mm watch might be wearable in the right circumstances. But the fact that it's a chronograph means it suffers from the same problem as many skeletonized complications watches: you usually get either legibility or the ability to appreciate the movement, not both There are.cheap watches for sale
Since this is a three-hand watch, the combination of skeletonization and design is made a bit easier, but still impressive – at least graphically – the new Defy Skyline Skeleton is both stunning and legible. Rhodium-plated hands and indexes pop out from both dials. On the blue-dial Skyline Skeleton, choosing to keep the outer rail and seconds sub-dial blue makes for a really cool modern contrast, making it my favorite of the two dial color options. Then there's the option to move the subdials to six o'clock, which really makes me happy. Call me a diehard or a purist, but I just love the natural symmetry that comes with a traditional dial layout like this.
The price of this watch is also high. Of course looking at the movement you will notice the lack of need for more and better inner corners, I think the quality of the skeletonisation, the case and the finish of the dial more than make up for it. face, so that the eyes mistakenly think that the movement below must be naturally matched. It doesn't, and perhaps the color on the movement plate and bridges hides any other finishing issues, but as a whole the watch seems cohesive and attractive from top to bottom.
As Logan pointed out last year in his review of the original Skyline (which was a review not just of the watch but of its heritage), history books on watchmaking, like any other, are mostly Written by Victor. The El Primeros and Submariners of the world have proven themselves so successful that they've barely left room for each brand's Defy and Milgauss (Milgi?) to really come into their own. I guess it was a hard-won struggle within the brand to get Defy to this point - a struggle against market forces that said "no, we're fine" over and over again. The feeling we got today was worth it.Replica Richard Mille RM 50-03 McLaren
