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.

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.

Timex revives a 1970s classic with a modern twist in new Bespoke Post collab
A modern interpretation of the Viscount collection
Timex x Bespoke Post

Timex's latest field watch is inspired by a collection of watches known as Viscount, which dates back to the 1970s. It was quite popular in the good old days and was the go-to for the Australian National Railway. This time around, the brand partnered with Bespoke Post to make the watch more stylish and durable, keeping up with the times. While the brand rolled out large models inspired by Viscount in the past few years, the latest addition has a 36 mm casing—the new modern size.

Given that Bespoke Post focuses on outdoor gear, it had a big influence on some of the materials featured on the new watch. Apart from the small casing, the watch is paired with a new Cordura strap, a material that can be easily styled to fit multiple spaces. It can also take on everything that’s thrown its way.
