I have wanted one of these for awhile and finally managed to snag one, a Zeno Phantom chronograph.  This is the Mk2 version, the original had a Miyota OS60, Zeno switched over to an ETA G10 though both are discontinued as far as I know.

I have been enjoying smaller watches lately, and this one certainly wouldn't be mistaken for a large watch at 36mm, 18mm lug width.  I really like it, my only complaint is that the stock NATO was a tad short and had no tail to tuck under, so  I ordered a Maratac NATO.  The dial is more than reminiscent of an Omega Dynamic without the price tag or bicompax mechanical movement.

I think this is going to be one of my favorites, joining my other smaller Zenos (Explorer at 35mm and Sea Hunter at 37mm).




Cheers,
Griff

I hear that Skip!  But a quartzie fits my budget a lot better these days, LOL.  The Omega Dynamic auto chrono that the Zeno is modeled on is at least 3x the price(if you can find one), definitely something my wife would not appreciate ;)


Cheers,
Griff

I'll have to try a lume shot!  Yes, it does have plenty of lume, not bad too.  Not Seiko, but not bad.  I really like this watch, I think it will get a lot of wear.

Cheers,
Griff

Thanks guys!  My Maratac NATO just arrived today, so I need to take another pic.  My lume shots are pretty bad, guess I need a tripod!

Cheers,
Griff

I know Scott :D
I tried, but I came out with a blurry mess.  I gotta get the real photog in on it (my wife) and use a tripod.  The hands are much brighter than the dial, similar to a lot of my watches.

Cheers,
Griff

Zeno is a good brand and sturdy. Had one about 2 years ago. Your current Zeno is sleek. 2 thumbs up on the looks but a bit small for me. Somehow the big monster bug has stung me seriously. Is it as big as an IWC Spitfire? Sleek Zeno, Zippofan...kudos!
