Zenith is celebrating its 160th anniversary by bringing back an icon: the G.F.J. This sleek, elegant timepiece honors Georges Favre-Jacot’s vision of creating "the perfect watch," a pursuit that started in 1865 and continues to this day. Named after the brand’s founder, the G.F.J. reintroduces the legendary Caliber 135, the most awarded movement from the golden age of chronometer competitions.

With a design that pays homage to the 1950s, the G.F.J. features a refined 39mm platinum case with sculptural lines, a stepped bezel, and curved lugs. Its polished and brushed finishes give it a timeless yet modern look. The crown is stamped with the G.F.J. initials, and beneath the sapphire box glass, you’ll find a stunning blue dial—Zenith’s signature color, symbolizing the brand's connection to the sky and precision.

The dial is a work of art: the outer ring has a “brick” guilloché pattern, white gold faceted hour markers, and a delicate minute track made of 40 hand-applied white gold beads. The center is crafted from deep blue Lapis Lazuli, speckled with gold-colored pyrite flecks that resemble a starry night sky, making each dial unique. The oversized mother-of-pearl subdial at 6 o’clock marks the passing seconds, while thin baton-style white gold hands point to the time.

The G.F.J. is powered by the Caliber 135 manual movement, a chronometer-certified masterpiece with a 72-hour power reserve and a Breguet hairspring. For the ultimate finishing touch, the watch comes with three strap options: dark blue alligator leather, black calfskin leather, or a blue Saffiano calfskin leather strap. The platinum pin buckle is engraved with the G.F.J. initials and the brick pattern. If you’re looking for something even more special, you can opt for a seven-row platinum bracelet with the same embossed “brick” pattern.
