When Georges Favre-Jacot established his manufacture in 1865, his objective was to create the finest, most precise and reliable timepiece. To celebrate its 160th anniversary, Zenith releases a timeless classic powered by an exceptional movement. Named after the initials of Georges Favre-Jacot, the sleek G.F.J. brings back to life the legendary calibre 135.  It is a modern re-engineering with up-to-date technical solutions and materials. The barrel now delivers 72 hours of power reserve. It drives a new gear train. The balance wheel features regulation screws and a Breguet overcoil. A signature feature of the 135-O, the double arrow-shaped regulator allows for precise adjustment, while a stop-second mechanism has been added to set the time to the exact second. The balance staff is now protected by spring-mounted jewel settings. The movement is officially certified by the COSC.

Its 39mm platinum round case has a stepped bezel and curved stepped lugs. Its thin profile has exceptional finishes with alternating brushed and polished surfaces. The notched crown is emblazoned with the G.F.J. initials.  The outer ring features a “brick” guilloché pattern, faceted white gold hour markers, and a discreet minute track of 40 white gold beads applied by hand. The G.F.J has a deep blue Lapis Lazuli dial, with gold-colored pyrite flecks, making each dial unique. The oversized subdial at 6 o’clock is in mother-of-pearl. The hours, minutes, and seconds are indicated by thin baton-style white gold hands. 

The ZENITH G.F.J. comes with three different straps: a dark blue alligator leather strap, a black calfskin leather strap, and a blue “Saffiano” calfskin leather strap. The platinum pin buckle is engraved with the G.F.J initials and the brick pattern. It is also available upon request with a seven-row platinum bracelet, whose center links are embossed with the brick pattern.

The G.F.J is limited edition of 160 numbered pieces.
