[WTS] Zeno Watch Basel ZN-001 "Zexplorer" Japanese-Market 36mm Automatic Watch
This is a Zeno Watch Basel "Super Precision" ZN-001 EX 36mm men's automatic Swiss watch, known as a "Zexplorer" for its resemblance to a famous historical watch. This particular model was produced exclusively for the Japanese market via Zeno's distributor in Tokyo and features the highly regarded Miyota 8215 automatic movement. (Miyota also produces movements for Citizen.) It features a vintage-style domed acrylic crystal and a "Mercedes" handset, and features good lume. This watch was produced around the turn of the century, so it's about 25 years old, but is in great condition for its age.

The matte black dial is very handsome. Cosmetically it is in good overall condition, refer to photos. It is running well and keeping good time with no known functional issues. See timegrapher image in gallery—checked fully wound face up only. Could use a nip of adjustment to rate but is fine as-is. Ships in original box and sleeve. No papers but comes with its original manual, which is in Japanese.
