The first case drawings drew inspiration from the X-15. The stubby, angular lugs of the ZX timepiece are reminiscent of the X-15's wings. The short lug length of 49mm makes it comfortable to wear for any wrist size, despite the seemingly large 43mm diameter. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"template asset\" contenteditable=\"false\" data-id=\"19882880\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" class=\"fit\" src=\"https:\/\/ksr-ugc.imgix.net\/assets\/019\/882\/880\/eabe55aa9c88d8f3822a1afb7f511e2f_original.png?w=680\u0026amp;fit=max\u0026amp;v=1516125322\u0026amp;auto=format\u0026amp;lossless=true\u0026amp;s=9323d78aa0ced74f5e12a92bf34ca479\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dials were influenced by the chronographs of the 1960s when the X-15 project was conceived. These dials were given a modern twist with the use of applied indices and subdials. A 2-layer dial is created to offer a sandwich effect, and this lower layer is painted with BGW9 luminous paint. We aim to achieve the brightest glow possible through the use of BGW9 lume, with some models having fully lumed subdials as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 'Rocket' shaped hands and 'Nozzle' crown are custom designed to complete the entire timepiece. These touches are what sets the ZX series apart from other timepieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterials were also an important consideration when designing this timepiece. Titanium is an important material used in high performance aircraft and we wanted to use this for a case. It offers a wearer increased comfort due to its light weight without any loss in strength. We also chose to brush and polish the titanium case, resulting in an elegant look to titanium instead of its usual matte sandblasted finish. Ceramic bezels are available on certain models due to its high hardness as bezels tends to encounter the most abuse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMovement\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"template asset\" contenteditable=\"false\" data-id=\"19882828\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" class=\"fit\" src=\"https:\/\/ksr-ugc.imgix.net\/assets\/019\/882\/828\/38bea8436b03209463052d4793134973_original.png?w=680\u0026amp;fit=max\u0026amp;v=1516124964\u0026amp;auto=format\u0026amp;lossless=true\u0026amp;s=56e33ff72f8c1131bb6daf7e62fc1206\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eZX Automatics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eare powered by the proven and reliable Swiss made\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eValjoux 7750 movement.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe 7750 has seen decades of service in Swiss watches from the $1000-$10000 range.

This is meant to make it more accessible in terms of price, as some might find a Swiss 7750 too rich for their budgets. A Mechaquartz movement runs off a Quartz crystal, but combines mechanical chronograph module. This means that the chrono second hand sweeps smoothly, along with a sharp reset function just like you would find in the 7750.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e43mm Diameter. 16mm Height. 49mm Lug to Lug\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWater Resistance:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e100m.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWatch case:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eCUSN8 Marine Bronze or Titanium Case - Mirror polished edges and Brushed Sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCeramic Bezel (Selected models only):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eZirconium Oxide 1500 Vickers hardness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMovement:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eSwiss ETA 7750 Elabore Grade or Seiko VK67 Mechaquartz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDomed Sapphire Crystal with inner AR coating.
