— DOSSIER · 1904 → PRESENT
A century of pressure, salt, and silence — distilled into instruments worn by those who descend furthest.
▣ MARK 01
1904
Zuccolo Rochet & Cie founded in Geneva. The seed of a brand that would dive deeper than any other.
▣ MARK 02
1904
The French Navy's combat divers select the Grands Fonds 300 — its crown moved to 6 o'clock for unmatched protection against impact and corrosion at depth.
▣ MARK 03
2015
ZRC reissues the legendary 1904 Grands Fonds — faithful in spec, modernized in metallurgy — and introduces the patented ECS® (Eau Claire System) bezel cleaning system.
▣ MARK 04
2020
A new shielded caseback with programmed deformation geometry is engineered to withstand extreme pressure, pushing the Grands Fonds beyond 1000 meters.
▣ MARK 05
Today
New limited series push the catalog into rarefied colors and Grade 5 titanium constructions, with the Veteran 3000M reaching 10,000 feet of water resistance.
— PRESENT DAY
Every Grands Fonds leaving our atelier today carries the same caseback engraving and the same crown placement that distinguished its 1904 ancestor.
