Zenith’s 2025 gold Defy Skyline announcement covers four watches: a yellow-gold time-only model, a rose-gold skeleton, a rose-gold chronograph and a fourth rose-gold time-only version. Detailed specifications and launch prices are available for three; the fourth model’s reference and specifications are not clearly established in the published coverage.
Rebecca Doulton’s November 26, 2025 article for Monochrome Watches identifies three models with distinct references and specification details. The figures below are launch prices reported in that article, not current quotes. It does not establish present stock or availability.
What are the gold Defy Skyline models?
The three clearly identified models range from a 41 mm yellow-gold time-only watch to a 42 mm rose-gold chronograph. The source describes a fourth rose-gold time-only model, but its searchable text repeats the skeleton’s reference, so that model is excluded from the detailed comparison.

How do the three identified models differ?
Yellow-gold time-only: the conventional dial
The 30.9300.3620/74.L001 pairs its olive-green star-pattern dial with the El Primero 3620. It has a date and small seconds, with the latter incorporating a 1/10-second indication. At 41 mm and 11.6 mm thick, it shares the listed dimensions of the skeleton, while its reported power reserve is five hours longer.
Rose-gold skeleton: the openworked option
The 18.9300.3620/81.I001 uses the El Primero 3620 SK and exposes the movement through an openworked dial with rose-gold bridges. Its 1/10-second indicator sits at 6 o’clock. The article reports a 55-hour power reserve, the shortest of the three specified models.
Rose-gold chronograph: the largest case and most functions
The 18.9500.3600/21.I001 is 42 mm across and 12.7 mm thick. Its El Primero 3600 chronograph adds 60-second and 60-minute counters, small seconds, a date and a 1/10-second chronograph indication. The article lists a 60-hour power reserve.
How much did the gold Defy Skyline cost at launch?
The 2025 launch prices reported by Monochrome Watches are listed in the table. They are announcement figures in CHF, EUR and USD; they should not be treated as current retail quotes or evidence of what a watch costs in a particular market today. The article does not give a launch price for the fourth rose-gold time-only version.
Do the gold models include a rubber strap?
The article says all four models have gold cases and integrated H-link bracelets, a tool-free strap-change system, 100 m water resistance and a complimentary rubber strap with a gold folding clasp. Confirm those details against the exact reference before purchasing, particularly for the fourth model, whose reference is unclear in the searchable article text.

The article’s introduction includes a fourth, 41 mm rose-gold time-only Defy Skyline. Its searchable text repeats the skeleton reference and does not provide a reliable separate reference or launch price. The fourth model’s reference and its detailed movement and price specifications therefore cannot be stated confidently from that coverage.
