I am considering a Zeno with an AS 1783 17 jewels Hand Winding Movement. Zeno's website does not list this watch or movement.
While doing an online search I came across a similar watch but with an AS 1783 Automatic movement. I couldn't find any info for the Hand Winding version. Does anyone have any experience with or info about the AS 1783 Hand Wind Cal.? Is this a bottom of the line movement or a reliable and sturdy movement and will it provide years and years of trouble free timekeeping? What accuracy can I expect from this movement? Any info is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately I have not heard of the company, so I can not comment. But I looked at the watch, and WOW, that is a very small date window. Have you seen one in person? Is it that small, or just look like it with the picture?

Hi timefinder. From what I have been able to dig up online, at some point A. Schild merged with ETA. Yes, that is a very small date window...more like a pinhole but it doesn't detract from the watch's appeal. Unfortunately, I haven't seen this model in person. The only Zeno AD here in Montreal hasn't carried a Zeno in over 2 years.

What date window?

@Mgiraz: It is better if you click on the right picture. When it expands, look to the left of the 3. That is the date window.
