ZENO-WATCH BASEL: SWISS WATCHMAKING TRADITION

Zeno-Watch Basel represents a long tradition linked to Swiss mechanical watchmaking. The brand has developed, throughout its history, a wide collection of watches characterized by a strong personality, designs of classic inspiration, and special attention to mechanical movements. This chronograph perfectly reflects that spirit.

Its architecture, its complex dial, and the automatic movement visible through the case back make the watch especially attractive to collectors and enthusiasts of traditional watchmaking.

AN EXTRAORDINARY DECORATED DIAL

The dial is one of the most impressive elements of the watch.

Its surface features a complex pattern of concentric and wavy lines that creates a spectacular visual effect. Depending on the incidence of light, the dial yields different reflections and depths. The decoration extends almost across the entire surface, creating a rich and sophisticated composition.

In contrast, the three auxiliary counters are perfectly distributed. The use of small red typography details lends an elegant sportive character without altering the refined aesthetics of the watch.

TRICOMPAX CONFIGURATION

The watch features a classic and balanced arrangement of three subdials.
Minute counter at 9 o'clock
Identified by the red inscription:
MIN.
Its scale allows recording the chronograph minutes.
Second counter at 3 o'clock
Identified by:
SEC.
Features a detailed scale with peripheral numerals.
Hour counter at 6 o'clock
Identified by:
HOUR.
Completes the chronographic architecture of the watch.
The triangular arrangement of the three registers provides extraordinary visual symmetry.

APPLIED INDICES AND LARGE PRESENCE NUMERALS

The dial incorporates large applied numerals at the positions:
12 – 3 – 6 – 9
These elements present an elegant warm tone that contrasts perfectly with the light dial background.
The remaining hour positions are represented by applied faceted indices. Their geometry allows light to be captured and reflected from different angles.
The outer minute track completes the composition and reinforces the instrument-like character of the chronograph.

AUTOMATIC MECHANICAL CHRONOGRAPH

This Zeno-Watch Basel houses an automatic mechanical movement with chronograph function.
The automatic system leverages the natural motion of the wrist to keep the mechanism wound.
The two pushers on either side of the crown allow control of the chronograph functions.
The complexity of a mechanical chronograph lies in the integration of numerous additional components to start, stop, and record time intervals.
One of the most emblematic and appreciated complications of mechanical watchmaking.

SWISS MOVEMENT – 51 JEWELS

Through the transparent case back you can directly view the automatic movement.
The rotor clearly bears the inscriptions:
SWISS
51 JEWELS
The indication of 51 jewels reflects the complex architecture of the mechanical assembly.
Jewel bearings in watchmaking act as supports at various moving elements of the mechanism, reducing friction and wear.
The visible movement provides an additional attraction for any lover of mechanical watchmaking.
The rotor, balance wheel, and the different components can be observed directly through the back.

TRANSPARENT CASE BACK

The rear features an elegant stainless steel case back with a central transparent window.
Around the back you can see various technical inscriptions visible in the photographs:
STAINLESS STEEL
SWISS MADE
30 MT
DUBOIS DEPRAZ
REF. 9559
These inscriptions give technical character and identity to the piece.
The window back allows you to visually enjoy the mechanical heart of the watch without opening the case.
