Zenith celebrates timeless elegance at 2025 MET Gala

This year’s edition of the MET Gala held special significance for Zenith, as the brand celebrates its 160th anniversary, marking over a century-and-half of pioneering spirit and horological excellence. Actor and cultural figure Caleb McLaughlin, known for his breakout role in “Stranger Things” made a standout appearance wearing the Zenith Defy Skyline Sapphire, a striking 41mm timepiece that combines high-performance watchmaking with refined gem-setting. Crafted in stainless steel with a dodecagonal bezel set with 45 baguette-cut blue sapphires, the watch features a metallic blue sunray-patterned dial embellished with Zenith’s signature four-pointed star motif. Powered by the El Primero 3620 high-frequency movement, it displays 1/10th of a second at 9 o’clock—directly driven by the 5Hz escapement – a date display at 3 o’clock and delivers a 60-hour power reserve. With an integrated steel bracelet and a quick-change system, wearers can easily switch to the supplied blue rubber strap.
