IWC is an 8-day manual wind

Thanks. Was wondering what the fuel gage like dial was for. Turns out it’s a fuel gage.

Ha ha....yeah "fill it up" to 8 days and watch it go down over the week.

Yeah, you're right about the Zenith looking too much like AP - was looking at it because I don't have a sport watch (mostly leather strapped watches) and the IWC comes with leather strap although the Milanese in the photo looks good. IWC is an 8-day manual wind IWC movement and Zenith is an El Primero automatic movement, although the IWC is on the pricey side for a manual wind movement.

If you want a sports watch in the same vein but with enough variation to not be a total carbon copy check out the Baume & Mercier Riviera 10701

Thanks! Will add to the consideration list - that's a nice timepiece. I have a B&M Flyback and it's nicely/built finished and this looks like a great package overall.....wasn't aware of this one.

This Chronomaster Sport came up in the sports watch category over Christmas so got myself a present. Didn't want a Daytona and liked the look of this one with black dial.
