About the price index Defy Skyline Zenith
Launched in 2022, the Zenith Defy Skyline extends the legacy of the Defy line, born at Zenith to combine robustness, case architecture, and contemporary sporty readability. Its identity is based on an angular case, a faceted bezel, and a dial crafted with a star pattern, an immediately recognisable visual signature. Powered by the El Primero 3620 calibre in most versions, with small seconds display and a modern power reserve, it continues the house's high-frequency expertise. On the pre-owned market, the Defy Skyline resells well because it combines strong aesthetics, still recent production, and solid demand for Zenith sport-chic watches. Its value depends mainly on the cosmetic condition, the presence of the full set, the size, the dial colour, as well as the steel, skeletonised, or two-tone version. The cleanest editions and most sought-after references naturally command the top of the market.

Reading the Defy Skyline Zenith price guide
The range observed for Defy Skyline Zenith runs from €4,900 to €15,000, with a median of €8,000 — a 3.1× gap between entry-level examples and the most sought-after ones. That spread is normal: on this model, condition, material and year weigh more heavily than the reference itself.
In practice, a piece below the median usually shows accepted signs of wear or a common configuration; above it you find rare colours, precious hardware and complete sets with the original box and invoice.
What pushes the Defy Skyline price guide up
- Full set: box, warranty, spare links and original invoice
- Unpolished case, original edges and a dial with no relume
- Exact year and reference (dial transition, calibre)
- Recent service documented by an approved watchmaker
Selling a Defy Skyline Zenith at the right price
We offer two options on this model. Outright purchase, settled within 72h once the piece is authenticated, suits anyone who wants an immediate exit. Consignment aims for the top of the range: the piece is photographed, promoted and sold with a commission that decreases with your membership card.
The pre-owned watch market has normalised since the 2022 peaks: steel sports references keep a premium, while gold and dress models currently offer the best entry points.
How we authenticate a Defy Skyline Zenith piece
Every piece that joins Monogram Paris follows the same protocol in our Paris workshops: no catalogue photography, no supplier imagery, only shots of the actual item.
- Case and movement numbers recorded and cross-checked against the registers
- Dial, indexes and hands: printing, luminova and any relume documented
- Movement opened by a watchmaker: calibre, finishing, service parts
- Amplitude and instantaneous rate checked before listing
- Bracelet, deployant clasp and links inspected one by one
Care and storage
- Service recommended every 5 to 7 years depending on the calibre
- Water resistance test after every case opening
- Avoid magnetic fields (speakers, magnetic bags, tablets)
Buy, sell or request a valuation
Two routes: outright purchase, paid within 72h of authentication, or consignment, with a commission that decreases with your membership card (25% Blanche, 22% Or, 15% Noire).
On purchase, every piece ships insured within 10 to 14 business days, certificate of authenticity included. Our advisors answer any valuation request within 24h.
