Was the case for this watch made by the Georges Favre-Jacot company? And when was it made?

This is my Zenith. Great watch. It's a 2017 model. Keeps perfect time. I have the original box and papers but the watch was never registered with Zenith.

Two weeks ago the crown got very, very stiff. Hard to pull out to set the time or date, and difficult to wind. I've owned it for two years. Time for a full service? Try to just get the crown fixed? Any suggestions for service and approximate cost would be greatly appreciated as I really, really…

Yeah, snapped clean thru at the disc, and now the hand ia just laying on the dial while the disc and the tail of the hand is still spinning on the pinion. I did pull out the crown to prevent any potential metal shards (there shouldn't be any, was a clean break) from getting into the movement.
