Zenith introduces a new timepiece into the American market, which is known as the Defy Skyline Ceramic Americas. It was unveiled at the SIAR México event—one of the most anticipated events in the Latin America region.

As a watch that creates a smooth balance between the present and the past, the DEFY Skyline timepiece has always been characterized by robustness, smooth architectural lines, and high-quality mechanical movement.

Well, the new Zenith Defy Skyline Ceramic Americas has the same features as the rest of the watches from the series but comes with green and gold shades.

Everything from the rose gold-toned stars to the sunray finish accentuates the deep green metallic dial, giving the watch a nice and stylish look.

Since this watch aims to preserve retro features from the past, it has the same emblem that was featured on old Zenith watches.

Apart from that, the Zenith Defy Ceramic Americas is manufactured from ceramic, so it stands out from other watches in the Defy series. Thanks to the effectiveness of Zenith’s diamond-tipped tools, this new watch has some very sophisticated cuts that are complemented by a satin-brushed finish.

It is also worthwhile to note that the casing and bracelet are scratch-resistant due to the ceramic material.

In terms of performance, this timepiece comes with the El Primero 3620 automatic high-frequency movement, which delivers around 36,00 vibrations per hour.

The new Zenith Defy Ceramic Americas is a limited edition timepiece and only 100 timepieces will be rolled out into the market. It retails at $15,500.

Garmin upgrades the solar functionality on the new Instinct 3
New Garmin Instinct 3 is more powerful
Garmin Instinct 3

Garmin presents the new Instinct 3 collection of tactical watches with advanced tactical functionalities to enhance the user experience. It features three watches—a 45mm solar version, a 50 mm solar option, and a 45 mm AMOLED piece. The solar variants are designed to offer unlimited battery power to tackle the toughest outdoor expeditions. A bigger screen means more surface area for solar energy.

While the battery goes a long way in providing an enhanced user experience, the watch’s durability is also quite crucial, so the brand upgraded the bezel and reinforced it for multiple activities. The solar functionality is also more powerful than that featured on the previous model. It’s about five times more efficient than the Instinct 2 feature.

The new Christopher Ward C12 Loco: A reimagined mechanical version of the Twelve
Christopher Ward's latest mechanical watch
Christopher Ward C12 Loco

The new Christopher Ward watch will take your breath away with its striking color accents and mechanical look. It is based on one of the most sought-after flagship models, the Twelve. The latest addition leans towards the open-dial design and is highlighted by a spectacular view of components featured in the watch’s heart.

According to Christopher Ward, the movement was developed to sit in the new watch and make it look more stylish. The brand’s first-ever movement was rolled out in 2014, so it’s now raising the bar with a second in-house caliber—the brainchild of Feller Pivotages SA, a talented escapement developer. Designed to keep up with the times, the caliber CW-003 is quite powerful with a 144-hour power reserve.

Richard Mille dips its toes into gothic style with the latest sapphire model
A new gothic Richard Mille
Richard Mille RM 75-01

Richard Mille debuts another Sapphire model, RM 75-01, available in three colors (pink, green, and blue). It merges two styles—gothic and aqua aesthetics—into one, creating a balance between maximalism and minimalism. While the gothic style is highlighted by the open-work dial, the casing is reminiscent of water’s fluidity thanks to the casing’s transparent look. Think of it as an option that also creates a balance between aesthetics and mechanical precision.

One of the most striking details of this new model is the ‘flying’ architecture. Richard Mille removed components, like the tourbillon’s bridge plate, to create space—this makes it easier to enjoy the mechanical views. The tourbillon and barrel are cleverly suspended to take the aesthetics to the next level with the ‘flying’ layout.
