 Zeno Pilot Oversized Automatic Ref. 8554 B-SV By: Zeno Average Rating: 5.0 Total Reviews: 1 More Information Tremendous Watch Value  On: 2008-04-27The ETA 2824-2 Swiss 25-jewel automatic movement puts this watch on a par with far more expensive Swiss timepieces. It is a tried-and-true workhorse of an engine and is in such high demand among Swiss watchmakers that ETA has been unable to produce enough of them. To breach the gap in supply and demand, another Swiss company, Sellita, was called upon to manufacture the ETA 2824 and has done so with the SW200 series movment. Suffice it to say that the SW200 is the ETA 2824-2 with the addition of an extra jewel. For purists that insist on getting the ETA movement, however, this watch does have it at a price that cant be beat. The design of the 8554 is simple yet elegant, and the watch can be worn casually or formally without a problem. Zeno has caught on to the recent trend in mens larger watch sizes, and the 47mm case size and exhibition caseback are features I was looking for. The 8554 is aesthetically pleasing, and I find myself looking at it many times during the day. The case is brushed stainless steel and the strap a padded black leather with white stitching. Engraved on the straps buckle is "Zeno-Watch Basel." You wont be disappointed should you get this watch. |
