Case
The case of the Zeno is fully polished; that is to say that there are no brushed areas at all. Given that the overall look of the watch is 1960s then I think this suits it fine. Personally, I doubt whether I will ever be in the position to be attacked by marauding Barracuda because of reflections from my watch as some manufacturers claim. The aesthetic downside to the highly polished case is of course that it shows scratches more easily. That being said, although I do try and take care of my watches I have reached the stage (as I was before watch madness struck) that I don't really mind what happens; after all a watch is to wear and enjoy.
At 40mm in diameter, the watch is a good size for most wrists and comes in at approximately 17mm in height including the domed acrylic crystal. This thickness is however disguised somewhat when wearing the watch by the profile of the lugs. They feature a sharp downturn which I think goes a long way in making the watch as comfortable to wear as I have found it to be. The picture below right illustrates this and just how interesting the case shape is. Including the lug ends, this watch is actually octagonal!
