In celebration of its 160th anniversary, Zenith proudly unveils an exceptional trio of watches reimagined in monochromatic blue, the Maison’s signature colour. Three of the most emblematic Zenith chronographs will be offered in blue ceramic specially developed for the occasion: a Chronomaster Sport, a DEFY Skyline Chronograph and a PILOT Chronograph. Available in exclusive limited editions of 160 pieces each, they can be purchased individually or in a special anniversary box set.
PILOT BIG DATE FLYBACK 160th ANNIVERSARY EDITION
The ZENITH PILOT Big Date Flyback 160th Anniversary Edition celebrates the brand’s aviation heritage with a bold monochrome blue design. Crafted from bright blue micro-blasted ceramic, its 42.5mm case is paired with a titanium crown and rectangular pushers. The luminescent-coated hands and large Arabic numerals ensure clear legibility, while the corrugated dial adds depth.
This limited-edition timepiece is powered by the El Primero 3652 calibre, featuring a high-frequency automatic chronograph with a big date and a flyback function. The patented big date mechanism enables a near-instantaneous change in just 0.007 seconds, and the flyback function allows quick restarts with a single push, optimising timing precision for pilots. The movement, visible through the sapphire case back, showcases a custom rotor engraved with a 160th-anniversary emblem.
Limited to 160 pieces, this special edition is equipped with a blue Cordura-effect rubber strap and an additional white strap, both secured with a steel triple-folding clasp. Its quick-change strap system ensures effortless versatility, enhancing wearability for any occasion.
DEFY SKYLINE CHRONOGRAPH 160th ANNIVERSARY EDITION
The DEFY Skyline Chronograph 160th Anniversary Edition reimagines ZENITH’s bold 1969 DEFY with a striking all-ceramic design. For the first time, the 42mm case and bracelet are crafted in the brand’s signature deep blue ceramic, with a dial featuring an engraved geometric motif inspired by ZENITH’s four-pointed star. This modern interpretation seamlessly blends heritage and innovation, delivering a refined yet robust aesthetic.
Powered by the El Primero 3600 calibre, this high-frequency chronograph measures 1/10th of a second with exceptional clarity, with its seconds hand completing a full rotation every 10 seconds. A stop-seconds mechanism ensures precise time setting, while the movement, visible through the sapphire case back, features a special 160th-anniversary engraving. Designed for versatility, the watch features a quick strap-change system, allowing an effortless switch between the three-link ceramic bracelet and a star-patterned blue rubber strap.

The CHRONOMASTER Sport 160th Anniversary Edition brings ZENITH’s signature sporty-chic chronograph to life in blue ceramic for the first time. Its sleek 41mm case, with pump-style pushers and faceted lugs, features alternating brushed and polished surfaces, complemented by a sunray-finished dial with the brand’s signature 3-6-9 tricolor counters. Luminescent markers and hands ensure optimal readability, while red-tipped chronograph hands add a dynamic touch.
Powered by the El Primero 3600, this high-frequency chronograph measures 1/10th of a second, with its seconds hand completing a full dial rotation in just 10 seconds.
