Zenith works together with iconic artist Felipe Pantone to create the special Defy Skyline Tourbillon Felipe Pantone timepiece. It celebrates the 90s and Pantone highlights its main canvas as it has concentric circles. These shapes are engraved on top of a sapphire disk to create a moire visual along the face of the watch.
The Defy Skyline Tourbillon Felipe Pantone has hour markers that follow the same colorful design as the 3, 9, and 12 sections are finished in another Pantone signature. It has a glitchy lightning bolt motif as well. Additionally, the six o'clock indicator has a tourbillon bridge saturated in a spectrum of colorful hues. It is complete with premiere movement with a sleek minimal form.
