Zenith Defy Skyline Skeleton As LVMH replica luxury watches Week kicks off, we had some hands-on time to get up close and personal with the new Zenith Defy Skyline Skeleton.

Zenith has released 4 new models for the LVMH Watch Week that started today. The Zenith Defy Skyline Skeleton is the flagship product of this release. The others are Defy Skyline 36mm, Defy Skyline Boutique Edition and Defy Extreme Glacier. We'll cover the rest in due course, but for today, we'll focus on the Skyline Skeleton.

The Defy Skyline Skeleton is available in blue or black. On the right in this Zenith promotional photo is the original blue skyline.
The Defy Skyline Skeleton is not new. But it expands on the existing Skyline series released earlier last year. We've reviewed the launch model of the watch in detail here. But unusually, with this novelty, Zenith took its expertise in creating skeletonized dials and applied it to the Skyline.

We're also told to expect some interesting stuff from cheap replica watches& Wonders 2023, as Zenith will be keeping its powder dry for a grand display then.

Case, Dial and Hands
The model we are reviewing has a blue skeleton dial. The conception of the Skyline collection was inspired by the structures of the modern urban landscape, which are light and in constant motion.

Although an extension of the launch model range, there are immediate differences that are apparent at first glance. Except for the skeleton dial, that's it. The new watch now features a small seconds at 6 o'clock instead of 9 o'clock. As with the original launch model, the seconds hand jumps every 1/10th of a second, completing a lap every 10 seconds instead of the usual 60 seconds. The date is now removed as it may have been too cluttered to incorporate a date display in an open dial layout. The case is the same as launching Skyline. Made of brushed stainless steel, it features an angular design language with polished bevels on the 12-sided bezel. The size of the case remains at a very comfortable 41mm.

The hour markers are stick-shaped with lumen filling. These appliquéd hour markers extend from the chapter ring on the periphery of the dial and mark the minutes.best replica watches

The case design follows the geometry of earlier Defy models from the 1960s, exuding a sense of rugged construction. The case is water resistant to 100 meters.

The watch is equipped with a stainless steel bracelet and rubber strap, with a stainless steel buckle that matches the color of the dial. Users can interchange bracelets and straps using a simple but effective system.

Sports Carl. 3620 SK
The movement is still the caliber 3620, but this is not exactly the same movement used in the launch model. The movement has been modified to move the running seconds hand from the 9 o'clock position on the dial to the 6 o'clock position. But the schema remains the same. The movement is basically an El Primero 3600 1/10th of a second chronograph, using a direct drive system to form the escapement that assists the seconds hand.replica Zenith Chronomaster Sport

The movement is visible through the open machined dial and sapphire glass case back. Beating at 36,000 bph, the movement is wound bi-directionally by a star rotor, providing the mainspring with a 60-hour power reserve.

Like the firing caliber 3620, this movement has a hacking mechanism. Finishes are considered good enough, but without the high-end embellishments found in movements with Haute Horlogerie aspirations. Considering the somewhat modest pricing of Defy Skyline, this level of finish is right and appropriate. In our experience, Zenith movements are solid, reliable and perform well in timekeeping.

As we concluded in our detailed review of the released models, the new Zenith Defy Skyline Skeleton is a beautiful watch. We've swapped the ultra-simplicity of the original model with a complication in the form of an open working dial. We must say that the skeletonized dial is quite tastefully done. Especially the blue model we're photographing here. The extra tactile touch creates additional visual interest with the fast-rotating second hand making one revolution every 10 seconds. And it adds a sense of urgency with animations on the dial. The case finish is very good.2023 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26420CE.OO.A127CR.01
