At Watches and Wonders 2025, ZENITH marks a momentous milestone: 160 years of trailblazing innovation and precision in Swiss watchmaking. The Maison honours this legacy with a series of exceptional novelties that revive its most iconic achievements.<\/p>\n
G.F.J.<\/strong> The modern G.F.J. houses a beautifully re-engineered Calibre 135 inside a 39mm platinum case, enhanced with modern upgrades including a 72-hour power reserve and COSC-certified accuracy. The dial is a visual marvel, blending a deep Lapis Lazuli main dial, a mother-of-pearl subdial, and a textured guilloch\u00e9 \u201cbrick\u201d motif inspired by the original ZENITH Manufacture.<\/p>\n Limited to just 160 pieces, the G.F.J. is both a tribute to a historic chapter in watchmaking and a statement of ZENITH\u2019s enduring dedication to precision and beauty.<\/p>\n The Blue Ceramic Chronograph Trilogy<\/strong> Limited to 160 pieces each, the CHRONOMASTER Sport, DEFY Skyline Chronograph, and PILOT Big Date Flyback can be purchased individually or as a complete collector\u2019s set.<\/p>\n 1. PILOT Big Date Flyback<\/strong> The open case-back reveals a commemorative rotor marking the anniversary. The watch is delivered with both blue and white Cordura-effect rubber straps and a quick-change system.<\/p>\n 2. DEFY Skyline Chronograph<\/strong> Inside beats the El Primero 3600 calibre, providing 1\/10th of a second precision and a rotating chronograph hand that completes a revolution every 10 seconds. A blue rubber strap with a steel clasp is also included.<\/p>\n 3. CHRONOMASTER Sport<\/strong> The El Primero 3600 movement, beating at 36,000 mph, powers the chronograph hand that completes a lap every 10 seconds. It comes with a ceramic bracelet and an additional rubber strap and features a sapphire case back engraved for the occasion.<\/p>\n From the very beginning, ZENITH has drawn inspiration from the sky \u2014 reflected in both its name and its enduring commitment to reaching new heights in precision.<\/p>\n The blue ceramic used in the trilogy is the result of extensive research and development, creating a rich, deeply coloured ceramic that is both scratch-resistant and tactilely smooth.<\/p>\n It exemplifies the brand\u2019s blend of technological excellence and artistic expression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At Watches and Wonders 2025, ZENITH marks a momentous milestone: 160 years of trailblazing innovation and precision in Swiss watchmaking.
