The exceptional G.F.J.
Last Thursday I had a chance to see the watch in person and on (and off) the wrist of Zenith's head of product development, the young and dynamic, Romain Marietta. There are various websites where one can see slightly more conventional photos of the watch with good lighting setups. As is normally the case though, I like to challenge myself with available light (even though I did actually bring some supplementary lighting). Hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed meeting Romain and the fruit of his efforts. This watch is one for the ages I think.

Love the photos! It's really great to see watches in a variety of available light settings, thank you! Definitely more dynamic than the studio and press shots.
I agree with you, it is one for the ages ❤️, it absolutely slams on bracelet, Great Pics 👍
Thank you!
The bracelet was still in transit from Japan, Romain's previous stopover, so we didn't have a chance to see it on this occasion.
In photos I thought the hour ring guilloche was a bit too much, too many textures going on but in person it's not nearly as clashing. The blue MOP looked great too. Hermes does it a lot on their watches
The brick pattern on the chapter ring is quite subtle in person and adds some texture without being overwhelming.
I think it’s absolutely stunning
I wish movement looked better. If I was into zenith brand it would be hard not to buy
The movement is certainly sober in comparison to the dial and case. I'd say it's handsome and reserved perhaps...
I much prefer your live pics, Baruch. The only issue of this superb watch is the price. For a small fraction of it you can find a great vintage Cal 135.
Ok, it is a platinum case with a sublime dial, but still...
Best,
Nicolas
I think this has become a much discussed topic for 2025.
Seem to be quite a few anniversary watches appearing this year from several brands. Impossible to deny your postulation on this one Nicolas, but when I review the alternative high end time only releases of recent memory, this Zenith stands head and shoulders above the others in terms of overall design and execution (my opinion of course).

There is a lot of work on this one, indisputably, indeed. To be compared with Kari's work on this one.
A beautiful issue.
These were competition movements I think? For a collector I'd say these are even more desirable.
Looks much more compelling in these pictures vs the official ones. Thanks for sharing this beauty!
A pleasure.
There are some lovely live photos in the usual places online, but I tried to focus a bit closer in on some of the finely executed details.

Time to rethink this one
That wrist shot is sublime. I don't know if this much 'jewelry' is for me... but your pics have re-informed my perspective on this one. Beyond wow. Thanks!!
A great pleasure to share.
Romain's outfit was quite understated which allowed the watch to stand out a bit more, but it never seemed over the top.
