Product Information
Full details
The Zenith Defy Skyline 36mm is designed for individuals who appreciate sophisticated design and reliable performance, offering a distinctive urban aesthetic. Its key benefit lies in its blend of elegant, modern style with robust watchmaking. A potential caveat for some users might be its 36mm case size, which, while classic, may appear smaller than contemporary oversized watches. This boutique edition features a striking ice blue sunburst dial, a diamond-set bezel, and is powered by Zenith's Elite 670 automatic movement, providing a 50-hour power reserve, all housed within a 36mm steel octagonal case.

FAQs
What is the power reserve of the Defy Skyline 36mm?
The Defy Skyline 36mm is powered by the Elite 670 automatic movement, which provides a power reserve of approximately 50 hours.
Is the diamond bezel made of real diamonds?
Yes, the Defy Skyline 36mm features a diamond-set faceted bezel, indicating the use of genuine diamonds for its decorative elements.
How do I care for the sunburst dial?
The sunburst dial should be protected from abrasive materials. Clean it gently with a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals.
Can I swim with this watch?
The water resistance level should be checked from the official specifications. While often suitable for splashes, it is generally not recommended for swimming or diving unless explicitly stated with a high water resistance rating (e.g., 100m+).
What type of movement does this watch use?
This model is equipped with the Zenith Elite 670 automatic manufacture movement.
Is the strap/bracelet interchangeable?
Modern Defy models often feature an integrated bracelet with an easy strap interchangeability system. Please refer to the specific product details or consult Zenith for confirmation on this model.
What does 'Boutique Edition' mean?
A 'Boutique Edition' typically indicates a watch model that is exclusively sold through Zenith's own boutiques or authorized dealers, often featuring unique specifications or limited production runs.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped running
Ensure the watch has been wound sufficiently. Wear it for at least 8-10 hours or manually wind the crown 30-40 times. Check if the power reserve is depleted.
Inaccurate timekeeping
Automatic watches can have a variance of a few seconds per day. If the inaccuracy is significant, ensure the watch is fully wound. For persistent issues, a service check may be required.
Difficulty setting time/date
Ensure the crown is pulled out to the correct position for setting. If it's a screw-down crown, unscrew it first. Consult the user manual for specific crown positions.
Water ingress (fogging under crystal)
If water resistance has been compromised, do not operate the crown. Immediately take the watch to an authorized service center for drying and repair. Avoid further exposure to moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This timepiece is an automatic watch and requires initial winding to start.
- Gently shake the watch for a minute or two to engage the rotor and begin the winding process.
- Alternatively, unscrew the crown (if it's a screw-down crown) and manually wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times until you feel resistance.
- Set the correct time and date, then screw the crown back down securely if applicable.
Compatibility:
- Strap/Bracelet: Designed with an integrated bracelet or strap system. Check for compatibility if purchasing aftermarket straps.
- Movement: Powered by the Zenith Elite 670 automatic caliber. No electronic compatibility is required.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet gently with a soft, dry, or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Winding: For optimal performance, wear the watch regularly (at least 8-10 hours a day). If not worn daily, wind it manually every couple of days to maintain the power reserve.
- Water Resistance: Adhere to the specified water resistance rating. Avoid exposing the watch to excessive water pressure or submersion beyond its rating. Ensure the crown is always in the fully closed position before exposure to water.
- Servicing: It is recommended to have the watch serviced by an authorized Zenith service center approximately every 3-5 years to ensure continued accuracy and longevity of the movement.
