Zeno-Watch Basel Cockpit Digital Quartz Watch

Oct 10, 2018

Great looking Regulator at a great price and very simple to tell the time since it's clean with no additional date complication. Made by a well known company so you know you are getting a nicely built, reliable unique movement or complication. Price is really a bargain since it's a Swiss Quartz movement. Personally I like complications and this is a watch that can be dressed or dressed down but never looks out of place.

SampsontiThat depends of if you are left handed or right handed or can be customized like a lot of the Japanese Automatics now with crown position at the 4 o'clock position. I used the Bell & Ross as an example of a mechanical regulator in this case I consider this a "lefty" because it's at the 9 o'clock position and to demonstrate how an analog regulator is not that difficult to tell the time. Like a Jumping Hour movement with only 1 hand if you learn how to read what time it is, then it's not that difficult. The movement of this Zeno is quartz so it makes this watch very attractive at the price point vs an automatic unless you are going to go for a mass produced Chinese or Hybrid of origin automatic which may cost even less, but probably won't be working for a long time. Maybe you get lucky by going for a cheaper movement in an automatic, I just prefer knowing at least in this Zeno it's a Swiss Quartz as opposed to a mystery movement and also mystery metal in the case etc...

neilshaftonI have a B&R WW2 as well. It has been one of my favorite watches, even at 49mm it wears great because of the movable lugs. Especially at that size a lefty crown is great as it won’t stick into anything.
