The numbers look out of proportion?

Not bad looking, resembles pilot watches. Unitas movement is a reliable and robust movement.

Last time Emotus KLCC was AD for this brand, now Emotus no longer exist.

So,

At the price below rm1k is ok for this watch?
Or shud go for junker/junghans/Zeppelin?

[JeepWH]

I am always a Zeno fan but realised the brand is not widely sold in Kl/Malaysia so have to get them from overseas mostly online. I remember that there is a watch dealer in Setia Alam mall that carry Zeno watches but limited choices.

For this model, I think below RM1k is a good price especially a Swiss Made watch. But price has increased for the newer model and also older Pilot watches which have been discontinued.
