ZENITH Defy Skyline El Primero 3620. 11 possibilities to wear the watch... We show them all!

#Zenith #ZenithElPrimero #ZenithDefy @zenithwatches
The new ZENITH Defy Skyline El Primero 3620 rocks! Under all aspects this is a particular sports-watch. Starting with the small seconds indication at "9 o'clock" that makes one turn in 10 seconds. Why? The movement powering the "Defy Skyline" is a 5-Hz-calibre, its balance-wheel oscillates at 36.000 A/h. The real cool thing is that the "Defy Skyline" can be worn in eleven different ways by combining a black, blue and white dial with a black, blue and green rubber strap plus a bracelet.

That's what I call being spoilt of choices ...

Here are the key points of the Defy Skyline El Primero 3620:

So jealous you got to feature all 3! I was only able to film the black, but I’m sure we will see plenty of blue Defy Skyline videos out soon 😁

I have been admiring zenith for some time.
This defy has made me take my admiration to the next level. Rarely do I see a watch and immediately seriously interested in purchasing it.
I am very interested in this one.
It’s exactly what I have been looking for.
Excellent review as always.
My choice as of now is the black dial with green strap.
Keep up the good work

Du verdienst so viel mehr Aufmerksamkeit als all die englisch-sprachigen Möchtegern-Hipster im Youtube-Uhren-Zirkus. Tolle Details. Danke.

[j.kapiris]

Love the level of detail you go into. Thank you

I took a closer look at the weekend. That strap change mechanism is really amazing and disengages in a second. Clip. And you’re done. So easy. The case reflects light really nicely and has to be seen in reality to see the effect. The bracelet has the same visual appeal sparkling as you rotate your wrist. The rubber strap looks very sporty and well made. The 10s revolution of the small seconds is rapid and crazy cool. Almost like time is running away from you very quickly. The star rotor looks very funky. The one downside is that only the rubber can be adjusted without tools as the bracelet can’t be adjusted. For my money I’d go with the titanium defy skeleton model as this dial is maybe a little plain despite the circles or star’s motive. Still, a fun piece and visually quite arresting.

Beautiful watch. I love the ability to mix and match the straps. I prefer the bracelet. But, both look great. That movement is very cool. Should be less expensive to service without the additional complications of the El P.

Excellent presentation as usual. I agree. The blue is my favorite also! lol.

[shimayume]

I bought the white face. The fit, the feeling of turning the crown, the design of the bracelet, and the finish of the exterior. All of them are doing a good job. There are pros and cons to the 10 second second, but it makes us realize that time in our lives is wasted without us noticing. It's a great concept and we think Zenith is an underrated brand.

[darylwardsnyder]

Great review. Thank you! I had decided on the blue dial but changed my mind after seeing the white/silver dial. Now that I have seen the white doll with the dark green strap, I am totally sold on this color combination. Thanks again for your thorough review.

[selespeed]

finally a beautiful el primero! the blue dial is gorgeous.

[derekh]

Really cool that you can mix and match the dials and strap colors. Great review, thanks!

Hi Alexander, another great introduction for another awesome Zenith new collection. Alway been a strong fan of Zenith for years. They deserved the recognition they been enjoying lately. Clean cut sharp design for this Skyline range. Cheers from Singapore!

[tuckshop]

Alexander - would love to see some follow-up commentary regarding the recent video about your friend’s horrible Rolex experience. Was there any kind of response from Rolex? Any acknowledgment? Absolutely love your channel and thoughtful insights.

[williampan]

I understand that Zenith wants to show off the movement with the 10 seconds small dial, but personally i would’ve preferred a normal 60 seconds small dial at 6’oclock or just central seconds. The 10 seconds idea is cool but it is impractical imo. As someone who sets his watches precise to the seconds, How am I suppose to know the exact time with the 10 seconds dial?

However, I think Zenith has done a great job and the watch looks really good. I feel like the small 10 seconds at 9 o’clock might actually make the watch popular as more people get used to it.

[LTTang]

As always, great thorough review. Thank you.

[tbaker]

Alexander, as you can see by all the comments you hit a home run! It was an excellent video and thank you addressing the accuracy question. I was very happy about the performance and look of the watch with all the color options. I did not know you could choose your strap so that was a pleasant surprise. I also liked how you shared the inception of this watch came from the 1969 design—well said! I think I like the blue dial best, but may choose the silver (or white I am not sure) version because I think I could swap out more zenith strap colors with it. Thank you again and I have no questions!

[j.kapiris]

You personally have turned me into a Zenith fan.
I have the Defy Mykonos (blue ceramic)and looking to get this or the Defy Classic in titanium.

[BHNEOH]

Love it, the design, movement as well as the straps option and i have placed the order for the black one.
