The long-awaited LVMH watch week is here. Zenith launched two timepieces into the market: the Chronomaster Sport Rainbow and the Defy Skyline Chronograph Skeleton.

As the name hints, the Chronomaster Rainbow is characterized by a rainbow allure, thanks to the stones set on the bezel. It’s worth noting that this new rainbow timepiece is based on a rose gold version that was rolled out in 2024. Featuring a 41 mm casing, the new Zenith watch establishes some dominance in the industry with its shiny appearance.

The casing is fitted with 50 different stones for a rainbow-like look—40 sapphire and 10 diamond stones. To complete the whole look, the dial has sapphire markers that blend smoothly with stones set on the bezel.

The black lacquered dial accentuates hour markers and extra elements fitted on the watch.

When it comes to the overall performance, Zenith opted for a powerful caliber, the El Primero 3600.

The Defy Skyline Chronograph Skeleton

While the DEFY Skyline has a design that dates back to the ‘60s, it has been remodeled to match the changing times. The latest Defy Skyline, which was unveiled during the LVMH Watch Week, comes with a skeletonized dial. Since this model has an open-dial design, the El Primero 3600 movement is in plain sight. In short, the new Defy Skyline Skeleton offers beautiful views of the mechanism.

Elements fixed on the watch are highlighted by a finish, which reflects light stylishly. Zenith also preserved a few elements from the ‘60s to pay tribute to the initial design.

While the Defy Chronograph Skeleton retails at $15,500, the Chronomaster Sport Rainbow is priced at $112,100.

For the love of Italy: Hockerty releases 14 looks with inspiration from 14 Italian locations
Blazer, Clothing, Coat

I am a traveler at heart. Every day, I wake up and have coffee, and stare out the window at a world still full of wonders and mysteries I have yet to uncover. Since the day I joined the Army, my heart has always been on the road, in the sky, or aboard a ship. The idea that there is a part of the world I have yet to see is both exhilarating and frustrating. Chasing those undiscovered corners of the world started as a passion and an experiment and became a way of life and an addiction. I say all that to say, I find inspiration on the road. I see the world around me as a canvas for my imagination.

I am also a menswear fanatic. From selling suits to writing about them, a good suit is always in my bag with me. So when a brand I love, Hockerty being a favorite, finds inspiration in a place, I pay attention. I wrote about their summer edit a while ago, with their colors at the forefront of my attention. But I missed something. I missed that all fourteen looks they debuted were inspired by different places in Italy.

Citizen is adding a new limited-edition model to its Tsuyosa Shore line, and it’s got a great look to it if I say so myself.

The Tokyo-based watchmaker’s new drop features a deep black dial, with a gradient effect and a textured surface that catches light differently depending on the angle.
