New materials and new technologies

The application of new materials and new technologies not only improves the performance of the movement, but also reflects the brand’s innovative capabilities in the field of modern watchmaking. As a veteran in the watchmaking industry, ZENITH has been committed to pushing the boundaries of watchmaking technology since its founding in 1865. The brand belief “the heart of timepieces, achieving perfection” has long become a benchmark in the industry.

This year coincides with the 160th anniversary of the founding of the brand, and the G.F.J. Founder Series watches are launched to pay tribute to the founder Georges FavreJacot. This series of watches is limited to 160 pieces, each with an independent number, which is both rare and commemorative.

The watch is equipped with the newly developed Caliber 135 movement, which has participated in various observatory precision timing awards since 1948 and has won 235 awards. It is one of the best-performing movements in the history of watchmaking. Its appearance marks a major breakthrough in watchmaking technology by ZENITH, and it also perfectly interprets the brand’s belief that “the heart of a timepiece reaches perfection”.

Caliber 135 movement not only gives this watch extremely excellent performance parameters, but also gives it a lot of extra points in appearance. The G.F.J. Founder Series watch uses a 39 mm 950 platinum case with a thickness of 10.5 mm. The retro Arabic numerals and golden hands on the dial complement each other. The entire dial design is inspired by the classic aesthetics of the 1950s.
