Hi i have just been looking through some of the new releases from basel and came across a brand called ZENO watch Basel, just wondering if anyone has ever had one and if they have any thoughts on the brand.

As always your help is appreciated

Never herd of it until now to be honest.

I have not owned one but I am familiar with the brand. They use ETA movements and seem to be reasonably priced and well made for what you get. It is a tool watch that has been around since 1922. They made watches for the military at one time. Zeno is from the Greek word; "Zenodopolus" meaning gift of Zeus or divine offering. I think they have a nice selection of varied watches. They have them in many different configurations and price ranges. I like the "Goda 2" which is a chronograph based on the ETA Caliber 7751 and it has a moon phase and it is a 42mm watch so it looks larger than many other watches.

Which one are you looking at?

Thanks Terry, here are the ones i quite like the look of. I know there can always be a difference between what a watch looks like on the internet and what it looks and feels like in real life, thats why i thought i would ask. Thanks for the info

I like the second watch best but they both look nice. Rhonda makes a good movement and so does ETA. It's a toss up but number two looks sharper in my opinion.

their Chronos are pretty nice looking and seem to have a nice bracelet design.

I have one of their Army Divers brand new in the box that I am thinking of parting with. It's very easy to read the dial on those models.

Best Regards,

I had this Airplane divers model w/steel bracelet. Very well built. Above average quality for their price point. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

Yup, I've got one through a trade with a friend.

Swapped the original hands with a plonguer from MKII Watches. Also changed the bracelet to a watchadoo.
