Zenith GFJ Cal 135 Tantalum and Yellow Gold, 2026.
Some photos of what I consider as one of the very few winners this year. At least my absolute favorite, especially the tantalum version. 
I will post the review on these next month.
Best,

A very nice release
THe movement looks very pleasant and performance appears to be outstanding, looking forward to your post!
both are stunning and the tantalum is gorgeous too...
but I am perplexed by the pricing of both... Best, mahesh.,
My favorite from their current collection, mon ami!ššš
I was really hoping they would release a stainless steel iteration this year.š
I'm prepared to wait years . . .
. . . for a basic steel model < $20K. Yes, the tantalum chronometer is the standout this year in my humble opinion as well, diamonds be damned. Art
If and when Zenith ramps up cal 135 production and drops the price point . . .
. . . my credit card will be afraid, too. š³
Try to find one in original condition. Then, when it goes to the watchmaker, try to find . . .
. . . movement parts, crystals, and crowns. One of the parts suppliers I've contacted in the past has a vast array of vintage Zenith movement and case parts; none for cal 135.
