Zenith is more well known for their high-beat El Primero Chronograph, however Zenith also has created many elegant dress watches and chronometers. In the 1950s Zenith created the Cal. 135 an ultra precise movement to compete in observatory competitions.
In 2022, Zenith made an extremely exclusive 10 piece Limited Edition in collaboration with Phillips and Kari Voutilainen to recreate the Cal. 135 with the Calibre 135-Observatorie. It was instantly sold out.

The case measures at a classic 39mm diameter with 10.5mm thick profile in Platinum. The case is complex with high level of details with sculpted stepped lugs and satin finished case band with polished top and bezel.
The dial is complex yet harmonious with multi-parts, consisting of a Lapis Lazuli dial center, blue mother-of-pearl small seconds register and dark blue guilloche chapter ring. The hands are simple baton shaped with pointy ends.
Powering the G.F.J. is an update to the historic Cal. 135 hand wound slow-beat movement with a large 14mm balance wheel.

It is now updated with new mainspring giving it a 72 hour power reserve and it is now shock protected making it capable of every day wear. It also features a stop-second function. The decoration is machined with brick pattern matching to the pattern on the chapter ring of the dial.
