Zeno-Watch Basel Limited Edition Diver EZ 0-1

For Sale:  Zeno-Watch Basel Diver Limited Edition of 150 units.  Swiss made and powered by a vintage AS 2063 movement.  Nice to see this Fifty Fathoms homage use a similar movement to the original and not the usual and ubiquitous ETA 2824-2.

The dial is similar to the Mil-Spec 1 or No Radiations Fifty Fathoms' dials albeit without either the moisture disc or No Rad symbol above the 6 o'clock.  The hokey part of the dial is the Zeno airplane logo.  A dive watch or a diver style watch should not have pictures of an airplane anywhere on it.  The two just don't match.

While the hour markers glow quite acceptably when charged by a light source, the hands barely glow.  Unfortunately, the numbers and markers on the acrylic (or is it mineral glass?) bezel insert do not glow in the dark.

Some specs: Stainless steel, 42 mm Ø, 15 mm thick, 22 mm lug width, screw down crown and case back, unidirectional rotating bezel, mineral crystal, A. Schild cal. 2063 movement (non-hacking), 100 m water resistance., Luminova luminescence.

It comes on an OEM leather strap with a signed stainless steel tang buckle.

Price: $800 shipped in the USA.  Paypal Ok.

NO TRADES.  All trade offers will be politely ignored.
