Strap fun
Hey, i go a bit off subject.
When you gave me the adres of your strap supplier, i found Canada a bit too far.
So i found an interesting strap supplier in Finland that called Finwatchstraps.
I ordered a Wickett & Craig horse saddle leather bespoke strap at their website.
When it arrives i show you how it looks on my watch.

What i think?
That is Zenith put a sublime watch on the map.
Honestly i was tired of the dozens of skeletonized Defy’s that a calm dialed Defy brought me back saying, well done Zenith, the skyline is not an over the top dazzling watch.
My choice is the silver dial with calm green rubber strap in 41mm.

Both versions are nice but like you, I prefer the Defy Skyline. Just wish it is at 38 or 39 mm.
36 mm size is almost perfect size albeit i prefer it on 38-39 mm
But the disappointing thing is that in 36 mm they put a basic caliber elite 670 with 144 components, which having nothing to speak about. No siicone antimagnetic.
They could put the caliber 670 SK with 188 components as in the discontinued Defy classic. Same size so no excuse about fit or not.
The Zenith website does not name the caliber for the 36mm variant, instead they write "other movement", with 144 components. In the defy classic (which strangely still on the list) they say 188 components. From google i found out that the one with 188 components is the one which have silicone lever etc.
So basically the have downgraded the movement, not only from the caliber 3620 in 41mm, but also from already-basic caliber from previous defy.....and they charged more.
This put me off . Too bad since i am looking for an integrated bracelet watch. Well i guess i have to wait for new Ingenieur (again), or i could just grab the Oris propilot X.

I'm anxious to try the new 36mm, thinking it'll wear larger, more like a 38mm...
I've no concerns about the 670 chosen, appreciate the quick change strap system, prefer the central seconds to the small 1/10th at nine of the 41mm and am attracted to all three dials. So quite happy about them.
I think this looks amazing, and the unique dial pattern is interesting and wonderful!
