The ZENITH G.F.J. is a limited-edition watch released to celebrate the brand's 160th anniversary. The initials stand for the founder, Georges Favre-Jacot. This elegant timepiece is crafted in platinum and features the famous, award-winning Calibre 135 movement, originally designed for competition-level chronometry (precision timekeeping). The dial is made from lapis lazuli, a rich blue stone chosen because it resembles a starry sky, connecting back to the inspiration behind the ZENITH name. It also features a "brick" pattern that represents the facade of the ZENITH Manufacture. The G.F.J. is a refined watch that pays tribute to the precision and pioneering spirit that has driven ZENITH for over a century and a half.

The moon and starry background are hand-crafted in Switzerland, with the moon itself being Super-LumiNova and textured like the lunar surface. For high visibility, the numbers and markers are made from luminous Lumicast. It's a beautiful watch centered around a vibrant, artisan-made yellow moon complication.
The HZ.03 watch is inspired by the first full photo of Earth, "The Blue Marble," taken in 1972. It's meant to put a cosmic perspective on your wrist.

The watch features a 36mm case machined from lightweight and tough Grade 5 titanium, protected by a domed sapphire crystal. It uses a precise Seiko VD78 quartz movement. It's available with two distinct dial options: a smooth enamel lacquer or a shimmering aventurine (which looks like stars).
