ZF Factory Edition — 5-Link Stainless Steel Bracelet
ZF Factory’s execution of the 2024 Black Bay Monochrome completely abandons the vintage gilt aesthetic for a strictly modern, high-contrast silver and black profile. By accurately replicating the updated 13.6mm case thickness, this release resolves the notorious slab-sided profile of previous 41mm iterations, allowing it to sit much closer to the wrist and slide effortlessly under a cuff.
Powered by a reliable Asian custom automatic mechanical movement, this caliber provides stable timekeeping while omitting the ghost date position to match the genuine no-date architecture. It delivers an operational power reserve of approximately 36 hours, maintaining consistent amplitude across its winding cycle.
Machined from 316L stainless steel, the 41mm case features refined chamfering and integrates seamlessly with the 5-link Jubilee-style bracelet. The matte black domed dial is paired with rhodium-plated Snowflake hands and pure white Super-LumiNova, perfectly matching the monochromatic anodized aluminum bezel insert.
