The Zenith Defy Skyline Tourbillon Felipe Pantone One Off brings art and watchmaking together in a unique collaboration. Created with visual artist Felipe Pantone, this timepiece supports the Swiss Institute through TimeForArt. An auction which takes place on the 7th of December 2024, in the Phillips New York Watch Auction

Felipe Pantone, known for his optical art, infuses the watch with his kinetic style, resulting in an eye-catching design that stands out for its shiny appearance. The model was recently released as the Zenith Defy Skyline Tourbillon Felipe Pantone, in stainless steel. This unique piece is executed in black ceramic.

41-millimeter octagonal case

The watch comes in a 41-millimeter octagonal case, a characteristic feature of the Defy series. But this model takes it further with a texturized iridescent sapphire dial. The sapphire dial creates a layered visual effect, enhancing the watch’s appeal. A bit CD-color style.

This dial has a unique striped texture that reflects Pantone’s style. A tourbillon at 6 o’clock performs one full rotation every 60 seconds, maintaining visual movement while adding precision. The tourbillon bridge, shaped like a lightning bolt, is a nod to Pantone’s iconic motifs. Together, these elements make the watch highly recognizable and add an artistic dimension to its functionality.

The Zenith Defy Skyline Tourbillon Felipe Pantone One Off has a power reserve of 60 hours

Powering this Zenith Defy Skyline Tourbillon Felipe Pantone One Off is the Zenith caliber El Primero 3630. A well-known high-frequency automatic movement known for its robust performance. The El Primero 3630 maintains a power reserve of 60 hours. Although not specified, the case back will be ceramic with sapphire to show a part of the movement.

This Defy Skyline Tourbillon comes on a black ceramic bracelet with folding clasp. And Zenith also offers a black rubber strap for those seeking a lighter alternative. The interchangeable strap system makes switching between the two easy.

The estimated price is between 60,000 and 120,000 US dollars, where the “regular” version costs about 65k.
