Dubai, December 11, 2025 – Much like ZENITH, the Middle East moves with intention, driven by a shared belief that progress belongs to those who dare to look ahead. The DEFY Skyline Skeleton Middle East Edition is born from that spirit, capturing the region’s architectural clarity, its light, and its unmistakable energy.
Across the Middle East, innovation rises from landscapes shaped by desert horizons and dynamic skylines. It is here that ZENITH presents the DEFY Skyline Skeleton Middle East Edition, a limited edition of 100 pieces that reflects the region’s golden warmth and its continuous pursuit of modernity.
Created for a region shaped by open horizons and bold architectural lines, the DEFY Skyline Skeleton Middle East Edition reflects the interplay of light and structure that defines its identity. The 41 mm faceted steel case, framed by the signature twelve-sided bezel, catches and sculpts the light with the same precision found in the region’s bold architectural silhouettes. Beneath the surface, the golden-toned openworked dial reveals the geometric structure of the El Primero 3620 SK high-frequency automatic movement, beating at 5 Hz and displaying 1/10th of a second, a hallmark of ZENITH’s mastery of precision chronometry.
The watch’s design echoes the architectural identity of the Middle East skylines defined by clean angles, vertical ambition, and wide horizons where light shapes every contour. The dialogue between gold and steel across the star-pattern openworked dial mirrors this balance between structure and openness, creating a piece that feels both refined and resolutely contemporary.
True to the DEFY Skyline philosophy, this edition includes ZENITH’s interchangeable strap system, allowing an effortless transition between the integrated steel bracelet and an additional patterned rubber strap, crafted for comfort in every environment.
The DEFY Skyline Skeleton Middle East Edition is a limited edition of 100 pieces, available exclusively through ZENITH boutiques across the Middle East.
