Luxury Swiss watchmaker ZENITH has partnered once again with Australian watch media brand Time+Tide to release the final instalment of their celebrated Surfer Trilogy. The DEFY Skyline Skeleton White Surfer Ceramic marks the bold conclusion to a journey that began with the Night Surfer in 2021, followed by the Skyline Skeleton Night Surfer El Primero in 2023.

This latest creation reimagines the modern, architectural design of ZENITH’s DEFY collection through a summer-ready lens. Crafted from ultra-resistant white ceramic, the 41mm case is lightweight yet highly durable, boasting 10 ATM water resistance and a screw-down crown—built for life both on land and in the surf.

At the heart of the design lies a gradient openworked dial, shifting from deep ocean blue to sky blue, reminiscent of the horizon at dawn. Signature five-pointed star bridges, filled with Super-LumiNova, glow after dark, paying homage to the luminous detailing of the original Night Surfer.

The watch houses the high-frequency El Primero 3620 SK calibre, a skeletonised automatic movement visible through both the dial and sapphire caseback. With a 1/10th of a second display, 55-hour power reserve, and striking light blue finish across its mainplate, bridges, and rotor, the movement delivers both precision and visual impact.

Limited to only 100 pieces globally, the White Surfer is offered on an integrated white ceramic bracelet and includes an additional white rubber strap featuring a starry-sky motif. Thanks to ZENITH’s intuitive quick-change system, swapping between looks is effortless.

Combining technical prowess, standout materials, and a refined coastal aesthetic, the DEFY Skyline Skeleton White Surfer Ceramic represents the trilogy’s most daring evolution yet. The piece is available now via Time+Tide, ZENITH boutiques, and select authorised retailers worldwide.
