I love how they make the their movements the star of the show... and this time without any starts on the dial. Great job Zenith. I hope I own one someday. Thanks Evan!
I own this watch. Great everyday all arounder. I was concerned about the extreme taper to the bracelets but they are ridiculously comfortable. And I find this one more legible than the non skeleton versions. Also the 6 o’clock seconds hand is way better balanced to my eye than the standard models 9. So basically, everything stated in the video!
The legibility alone is reason enough to love this piece. A quick time check on most Skeletor watches are a Beast….Man. Ok that was a reach, but still.
I love that you are unapologetic about being American. I hate when Americans apologize for using imperial measurements. It's 7 inches and if you want centimeters, go figure it out yourself.
I think it looks great on your wrist. Real shame about the lume though. You'd think for $11k, they would have given you grade A lume. Why must every brand short change their customers on piddly shit?
I love everything about this, except the second hand doing its rotation every 10 seconds. It bothers me! And I dont really know why, it just does. Maybe its the pointlessness of it. Still, I kinda want it…
personally I liked the last iteration of the defy skeleton better, the 12 sided bezel just don't rustle my jimmies. But it's still a sick watch that I cant afford anyways
My wrist is 1/565th of an American football field, so I guess I'm out. Great watch though. If I eat enough to get my wrist to sufficient size to wear this, I will have spent so much on food I will no longer be able to afford it. This watch caper is cruel sometimes.
My favorite watch channel. Obviously very knowledgeable, but not pretentious. Mixes in the perfect amount of humor, and doesnt take himself or the watches too seriously
This watch would be better if the seconds dial measured the standard 60 seconds. I get that the 10s dial is supposed to make a statement, but the skeleton's design already makes a very bold statement, and a 60s dial would have made this watch a lot more practical.
I've missed your videos! Been a subscriber for ages but stoopid RU-vid algo hasn't shown me any of your new content... Which is good and bad I guess as now you have made me want a Zenith! 😎🤪
Very nice watch indeed. You should also try to do a review of the Oris Big Crown ProPilot X, in the skeleton watch department it is also quite something 😉
The temptation to keep swapping between the strap and bracelet is almost overwhelming and it highlights what an excellent job Zenith has done with the strap mechanism. Yes, it does rather limit your strap options to Zenith's own ridiculously expensive rubber bands, but as the supplied rubber strap and the bracelet are both exceptional, it's not a huge downer. Exceptionally entertaining as always Evan 🙌
Can anyone explain to me why Zenith use Spanish words to name their watches? Does it have any ties to Mexico or something? I tried to look it up, but can't find anything about that.
Mexico isn’t the only country that speaks Spanish…. Spanish comes from Latin (Iberian Peninsula) to be extract. Your level of ignorance is astounding my friend. Salud 🥂!
Your beats are dope. Also, I'm still waiting for that random somebody to ask about my watch 🤓I always wondered why I gravitated towards no date watches 🤣I agree the light blue escape wheel and balance fork is an exquisite touch. You hard work and effort really shows into how phenomenal your videos always come out to be! They always make my day 😁🥳
I’ve been looking at this watch for a couple of years now. The skeleton is one of the best-executed on the market. It’s so cool. I know it will be on my wrist before long ….
@@YoureTerrific you go alright Evan. I’ve messaged your wrist diameter against a standard length didgeridoo and it goes approximately 5.5928 times. Food for thought❤️
Looks pretty cool but still way below my standards when it comes to readability. Zenith always seems to fall short in this regard. Putting silver hands on a silver-dialed watch, or in the example you showed white hands with a white watch. It's such a shame because there are a lot of Zenith watches I really like the look of but simply wouldn't buy due to the poor hand/dial contrast.
If your vision is that poor, you should probably lean towards a smartwatch. Seriously if it takes you more than a second to read the time on the Defy, you should save your money for Lasik
@@Melontheyoutuber I own a dozen or so mechanical watches and none of them have this problem. Pretty sure a watch can be designed with excellent readability without a display/backlight.
Too thick for a three hander! Ugly bezel, ugly bracelet and rubber strap with ugly extreme taper worse than Rolex! What is happening to the Swiss?! Are they smoking too much of something inside their design studios?!
