Friends,

 

I am currently going through my list of inventory and fell on this one in the list.

The Zenith Favre-Leuba Chronometre, calibre 135.

I think it is a stunning watch but I never got around to wear or share it a lot here…

In fact, I even don’t have that many photos of the watch…

Here is an old shot from 2014 I found on my hard drive that I don’t think I shared before…

 

Do you have this kind of watches in your collection?

You love them but rarely do photo sessions or share them here?

About the Horological Meandering Ref. Cal135

The Zenith Caliber 135 is a manually wound chronometer-grade movement produced by Zenith, notably from 1949 to 1962. It is recognized for its large balance wheel and oversized barrel, designed to optimize chronometric performance. This caliber was primarily housed in wristwatches, often achieving high distinctions in observatory trials. Its robust construction and precision engineering made it a significant movement in mid-20th century horology. The Caliber 135 is a testament to Zenith's commitment to accuracy and technical excellence during a period of intense competition in chronometer development. It remains a sought-after movement among collectors for its historical importance and mechanical integrity.
