Zodiac made several sports models in the 50s-60s and were direct competitors to Rolex, Blancpain, and Tudor, but are often looked over as they don't receive the same clout as the aforementioned companies. Keeping this in mind, Zodiac is one of the more undervalued Swiss timepiece companies that came from this "golden era" of sports watches. From then, Zodiac went on to produce countless other quality sport and dress models that to this day remain at an affordable price point, but still carry the colorful Zodiac charm.

SPECS

CASE & BRACELET

The handsome and large cushion-style case is in excellent condition, exhibiting light evidence of previous polishing with the original dimensions and finishing preset. The pump pushers and unsigned crown are original to the watch. The watch comes supplied on a generic stainless steel bracelet that will fit up to a 7 3/4-inch wrist.

DIAL & HANDS

The original Grey, black, and red exotic dial is near-perfect, showing no damage and only nominal age throughout. The tritium lume plots have achieved a beautiful golden patina and exhibit no degradation when inspected under UV light. The original tritium hands have taken on a darker patina than the dial, which is common, and under UV light inspection the hands feature some superficial cracking in the lume but remain stable.

ACCESSORIES 

None. The watch was recently serviced and is keeping time perfectly, backed by a 1-year warranty on accurate timekeeping.
