The Zenith 160th anniversary collection has been debuted by the brand as a series of timepieces that each put a stylish profile ion the spotlight that pays homage to the brand's history in a decidedly blue-hued way. The watch collection consists of the Chronometer, Defy Skyline Chronograph and the Pilot Big Date Flyback, which each measure in at 41mm, 42mm and 42.5mm, respectively. The watches are each constructed with a blue ceramic case, a blue dial and a blue ribber strap or blue ceramic bracelet to give them each a monochromatic profile.
The Zenith 160th anniversary collection is limited to 160 examples of each model to further reinforce the important milestone and can also be purchased as part of a three-piece set for avid collectors or fans alike.
