![]() As you can see from the shot above, the left flank now adopts this form – creating a more traditional picture of the octagonal form. Owners of previous Defy watches will know that previously the left flank of the case was fluid and curvaceous, while the right flank was a tad sharper with three faceted surfaces, one of which was flat to best frame the crown. It also increases the presence of a polished finish to the bezel, the flat portion of its top-side still brushed while the ever so sloped portion and perimeter is mirror polished. The 12-sided bezel was designed to best frame the 12 hour indices of the dial. Blending its highly multi-faceted design of the past, with an already faceted design of the present, we now have the slightly remixed Defy Skyline case profile – with a new 12-sided bezel and more faceted case flanks. The Zenith Defy Revival A3642 announced last week resurrected the debuting Defy design of 1969, along with its 14-sided bezel. But the Zenith Defy Skyline collection actually introduces a fresh evolution of case design by blending elements of past and present Defy watches. The case geometry, at first glance, seems very similar to what we have seen from past modern Defy models. Blending aesthetic elements of the original 1969 Defy watch and modern models, as well as adding an all-new 1/10th of a second counter to a Defy time and date model for the first time, the brand now presents the new Zenith Defy Skyline collection.Īcross the Zenith Defy Skyline collection, each reference is fabricated in a 41mm x 11.6mm x 46.3mm stainless-steel case that is 100 metres water-resistant – further ensured by a screw-down crown. When the Zenith Defy Revival A3642 was introduced last week, Zenith made it very clear in their assets that it was just the beginning of what was to come for the Defy line – the spark that would usher in the next evolution of the model. Zenith is well-known for their mastery of hi-beat technology with calibres capable of measuring incredibly fine increments. ![]() ![]() I/trending 15703 HANDS-ON: The Zenith Defy Skyline brings a 1/10th of a second counter to a time and date watch Zach Blass
