 Marc at Island Watch ordered this watch for me awhile ago. Finally got it last week. It is one of the smoothest operating watches I have ever gotten. Winds as smooth as my Corum. The extemely clear mineral crystal and polished bezel really set this watch off on the wrist. It is a 44mm, but looks smaller on. It has a screwed-in solid case back that has a mirror-like finish. The sides of the case are satin finish. The lumn on the hands is very bright, while the numerals are only fair to good.

Fit and finish on this Zeno is suberb. I don't miss having a decorated movement or the exhibition back because the overall operation of the watch is so good. Setting the time, the GMT hand, date, etc. is a pleasure. I keep thinking smoooooth everytime I do anything with the watch.

The only downside for me is the 24 hour inner ring is hard to read. The print is a bit small. I would have rather had the ring on the outter part of the dial with larger print. Otherwise the time is very easy to read and I like the big red tipped sweep hand.

This not a Zeno model you are likely to find most places. I haven't seen another one like it. It may be a Euro model only.
