Zenith Launches Very Important Defy Skyline

In the world of watches, not all creations are equal. Some are just more important than others because, like any other industry, market share and profitability play an essential role. With a few exceptions, this is usually not achieved with very highly complicated, limited edition, pieces but more with a strong base collection. Zenith is strengthening theirs with the introduction of the Defy Skyline.

Zenith Adds Vintage Flair To Its Collection With 1969 Defy Revival A3642

1969 is one of the most important years in the history of Zenith, as the brand not only launched their famed El Primero but also introduced the very first Defy. This collection would grow to become one of the pillars for the brand, which it still is today. To mark this momentous beginning, Zenith is launching the Defy Revival A3642, a watch with a distinct vintage flair and a generous dose of character.

Zenith Goes Two-Tone With Manga Inspired Chronomaster Revival

It is rare that a watch brand partners with a Japanese Manga and anime series, but when it happens, it can result in a timepiece unlike any other. Lupin The Third is an institution in the world of Manga, with the very first edition being published in 1967. Shortly after the launch of the original El Primero in 1969, it appeared on the wrist of Daisuke Jigen, the partner in crime of the main character Arsène Lupin III. It featured a black, grey, and gilt dial Zenith had never produced, but a bond was formed between the watch brand and the Magna series. This was strengthened even more in the final episode of the first series, with Jigen wearing a "panda" dial version of the watch.

Zenith Defies Gravity In Transparency With Two New Models

It is an interesting question to ask; when does Zenith reach its zenith? So far, it hasn't happened yet, and it is doubtful that it will happen in the near future. Today the brand launches two watches that give a new spin on already existing creations. What they have in common are mouthwatering movements encased in transparency and spiced up with a generous dash of blue.

The Outstanding Results of Only Watch 2021

Watch of the Week: Zenith Chronomaster Original

When done well, diamonds on a watch add more than just to the price tag. This is a delicate exercise that is not that easy to accomplish. It is all about finding the right balance and incorporate the precious stones in such a way that they elevate the watch as a whole and create synergy with its design. With the new Chronomaster Orginal, Zenith is giving a master class on how to achieve this. What is most interesting is that they only need sixty-five brilliant-cut stones to make a dazzling display. Fifty-six are used for the lugs, with an additional nine as hour markers on the dial. They seem like details, but the impact is profound.

Four Sensational Summer Watches For Women

In summer, our preference for watches often changes. Warmer weather lets us forgo leather straps in favor of metal bracelets or rubber ones. As we are enjoying time off, the watches don't have to be business-appropriate anymore. Instead, we get to enjoy fun and outgoing creations, like the following four sensational watches that are perfect for enjoying this summer season:

Four Chronographs That Earned their Place In History

One of the most popular complications is the chronograph. This can be explained because the complication adds extra dynamic elements to the watch. Measuring the passing of time requires an extra seconds hand, subdials to show the minutes and hours, and pushers to operate it all. Aviation, car racing, and the exploration of space are just three areas in which (mechanical) chronographs made their mark, adding to their appeal. While there are a great many to choose from, the following four have earned their place in history:
