This dial work, nicely applied indices, and Zenith star logo, large legible hands, and, yes, matching date window come together in the best way. What I initially thought was a tapisserie or waffle pattern on the dial revealed itself as the four-pointed star repeating pattern under the magnification of a loupe.
Something I enjoy when handling a brand new watch in the metal is that, oftentimes, the press releases aren’t ready, so I discover certain details on my own. I got my hands on the black dial variant, but it also comes in blue and silver.
Derivative design be damned, this is so much watch for the money. I think LVMH has a strong appreciation of the power of first impressions, and the Defy Skyline is a perfect example of this in play. As a whole, I can say without hyperbole that it’s on par with offerings from hype (and not so hype) watches that sell for substantially more than the price of the Defy Skyline. The alternating brushed and polished finishes are top-notch, as are the dial and movement. My first observation when I picked up the Defy Skyline is just how well-finished the entire package is. Taking bracelet and octagonal case cues from the Defy Classic and adding a vintage Defy dodecagonal bezel, the Defy Skyline presents a compelling - if not wholly original - new entry into the four-figure sports watch market. Zenith sets the Defy Skyline apart with a new movement characterized by a quick-paced 1/10th second sub-dial in a package designed for widespread appeal and mainstream success.
Just released for LVMH Watch Week is the new Zenith Defy Skyline, a new steel sports watch that serves as something of a follow-up to the runaway success Chronomaster Sport.
