ZIXEN NEW MODEL INTRODUCTION, ZULU, ZULU UTC

[Axelay2003]

You guys are KILLING ME.............OK....looks like overwelming vote goes to NO CROWN GUARD!!!!!! DONE. I love when i get feedback directly from you guys.

We will update the CAD work, and start the tooling very soon......Thanks to all here at WUS and other places that made it loud and clear No crown Guard, now start your pre-ordering........

You are the man JOE! Now, how about the removal of the triangles on the bezel? This change design will put it over the top...

It does look good without but the triangle markers don't bother me so much and it is a UTC watch after all, it is the redundant minute markers that, to me, are superflous, but also make the watch a little busy

Yes, I like them without the crown guard as well. I still think that the triangle markers on the bezel be removed for simplicity. Am I the only one who feels this way? Here they are side by side:



What do you guys think?

Man, if there is a no crown guard option, I will pre-order today....if not, I will have to wait for the prototypes.

Honestly, I usually am no crownguard kinda guy, but for this model, I like the crownguard a lot. So it won't upset me either way...
I've already decided to pre order the diver but I really find the bezel and dial edge very busy

The triangles on the bezel do make it extremely busy. Hopefully, JOE can either make it an option or do without.

Hello Joe,

I really like this no crown guard version of the ZULU DIVER AUTOMATIC which I saw on Lex's Oceanictimeblogspot. Will this version be available?

above version would be my pick too but guess we have to settle for the newer case/bezel.
but yeah no crown guard would def. be my pick, would love it if the Stainless Steel Bezel Version would look like this

I actually like the triangles very much...it's different, very zixen. I just ordered my first zixen (a trimix with both bracelet and mesh) and am looking forward to getting it!!! If it fulfills my expectations I will most definitely order this one next...

It will.

I guess I'm in the minority because I don't like the no crown guard look. If it is made with no crown guards I won't be buying for sure. I think the crown guard gives it a more tool watch look and if you are marketing this watch as a watch for the military and weekend warrior, then no crown guard is a mistake IMHO. These type of guys are tough on watches and no crown guard leaves the crown vulnerable to damage. Just my opinion.

Dive watch - crown guard please. I'd love to see orange minute hand, sword or arrow shape. Flat straight is a bit boring. Bezel marking should differentiate from dial marking. Date - white on black please.

Size is perfect.

Hi guys, we've received number of Emails about this issue........we have existing pre-orders in already and to be fair to people who have placed in pre-orders, we must keep the original design,....... that means, the watch will have a Crown Guard after all, this is to be true to the original concept. On the other hand, we will do our best to see if we can accommodate two different style of bezel, one as is, and another with more sterile design.......more details to come......!
