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

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.
