Zenith partnered with Time+Tide for an exclusive version of the Defy Classic Skeleton dubbed the Night Surfer. Inspired by Australia’s surfing scene, the nickname references the night sky seen by surfers who stay out after sunset. As night falls a line of light appears against the gradient blue/black of the horizon and an ‘evening start’ shines in the sky for a brief time – the only visible star in the Southern Hemisphere. Echoing the shade and tones of this dusky sky, the Zenith & Time+Tide Defy Classic Skeleton Night Surfer is packed with firsts. The first Defy Classic Skeleton with a gradient dial. The first Defy Classic Skeleton with a luminous date frame, allowing the day’s date on the skeletonized date wheel to be backlit at night. The first Defy Classic model mounted on a microblasted bracelet. Finally, this is the first Zenith model to have the star logo crafted in Super-LumiNova – a reference to the evening star.
Limited to 100 pieces, the Defy Classic Skeleton Night Surfer ($9,000.00) is available at timeandtidewatches.com and in select Zenith boutiques.
