Zenith's G.F.J. collection has been a standout in the watch world, and now it's back with a bang. The original model, released to celebrate Zenith's 160th anniversary, featured a stunning blue dial and a movement modeled on a 1940s serial-award winner. This time, Zenith is expanding the collection with two new models: the G.F.J. Jasper and G.F.J. Tantalum. These new additions are not just about the dial; they bring a fresh take on the classic case design, inspired by 1950s chronometers. The 39.15mm case has a thin, stepped bezel and curved lugs, giving it a vintage feel while maintaining a modern aesthetic. The tantalum model, in particular, is a showstopper with its deep black onyx center and trapeze-cut diamond hour markers, making it a true standout. Under the exhibition caseback, the Calibre 135 movement shines, now finished with Côtes de Genève and ruthenium plating, adding a touch of elegance. This movement is a steady performer, beating at 18,000 Vph with a 72-hour power reserve, and it's COSC-certified for accuracy. The G.F.J. Jasper and Tantalum come with a variety of straps, including nubuck calfskin, alligator leather, and even an 18-carat yellow gold bracelet for the gold model. These watches are not just about looks; they are statement pieces with a price tag of CHF 48,900/€54,000/US$51,900 for the yellow gold model and CHF 73,900/€82,700/US$83,400 for the tantalum model. With limited editions of 161 and 20 pieces respectively, these watches are destined to become highly sought-after collectibles.
