Zenith Defy Skyline 03.9300.3620/01.I001 catches the eye with its 41mm stainless steel case and sharply faceted bezel that play with light and angles in a way that feels both bold and thoughtful. The silver-toned dial is enhanced by a sunburst finish and a distinctive four-pointed star motif at the centre, a subtle nod to Zenith’s emblematic heritage that brings depth and personality to the face. A sub-dial at nine o’clock tracks 1/10th of a second, giving a lively rhythm that reflects the high-frequency nature of the movement beneath.

At the core of the watch is the El Primero 3620 calibre, a high-frequency automatic movement that beats at 36,000 vibrations per hour and offers around 60 hours of power reserve. This movement is rooted in Zenith’s legendary El Primero tradition, re-engineered here to focus on timekeeping precision while still delivering that distinctive high-beat character enthusiasts admire. The transparent caseback invites a closer view of the movement’s refined architecture and finishing, reinforcing the sense of mechanical excellence.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
