Hmmm...where did Zixen get their inspiration for their latest watch design from....

I actually had one but it was WAY small; the up-sloping case made the dial really tiny, looked like a woman's watch on me. Too bad cause it is a cool looking watch. I wound up tearing it down; I used the SEIKO on the dial for my last mod and have the movement ready to go for some future project.

This type of case shape is extraordinary imo. You can see why
other companies would want to pay tribute to such a look.
From certain angles it looks like a normal round case, but then
when you see it from the side..Wow ! I like this one alot,
and that price for the Seiko seems very reasonable for such
a neat watch !..I guess the Zixen is an update, which adds
some size, along with aggressiveness to the look.

The blue hand on that Zixen comes directly from the Omega Flightmaster Mark posted here recently.

You've got that right...the case is really similar too!!
