Zenith and longtime collaborator Felipe Pantone have once again joined forces to release their third watch: the special edition Defy Skyline Tourbillon.
This latest collaboration continues the rainbow aesthetic, featuring Pantone's kinetic art style that creates a unique effect on the dial, playing with light, color, and geometric patterns. What sets this new watch apart from the two's previous collaborations is the iridescent finish on the indices, hands, tourbillon bridges, and dial plate. There are micro-engraved concentric circles that can be seen on the watch face, which creates a wonderful visual effect.
The iridescent treatment isn't just found on the dial — it's also found on the star-shaped oscillating weight on the caseback. Inside, Zenith's emblematic El Primero 3630 caliber beats at 36,000 vph, providing approximately 60 hours of power reserve.
The watch has a 41mm-sized stainless steel body, with the artist's initials engraved in the upper two corners of the case, while the letters T and 1 appear in the lower corners. The main bracelet is made of steel that matches the case, and an additional black rubber strap is included.
The Defy Skyline Tourbillon Felipe Pantone special edition is priced at $62,300 USD and will be released on September 12 in a limited number of only 100 pieces. For more information, visit the Zenith website here.
