ZODIAC
Sea Wolf Automatic
Dive Watch

Zodiac's vintage wristwatches are so well loved that they have become the epitome of precision and craftsmanship and the new models are made to mimic the older models, but with fresh features.  "With a rich heritage to draw from, Zodiac is singularly focused on designing watches based on our most beloved vintage models and staying true to the original creation. Each watch design maintains the same sense of scale to keep the finished product as historically accurate as possible, then we add contemporary updates and improved functionality. If you held an original and a current model side-by-side, you should be able to see, and feel, the extension from one to the other."

"In 1953 Zodiac introduced the Sea Wolf as the world’s first purpose-built “dive watch” manufactured and marketed to the masses. To date, the original Sea Wolf, and its successor, the early-1970s Super Sea Wolf, are widely considered two of the most iconic commercial dive watches in history." -timesticking.com/the-history-of-zodiac-watch/

Here we have a vintage Zodiac Sea Wolf Automatic dive wristwatch from the 1960s. It has a beautiful, shiny, black dial in excellent condition with very attractive baton indices and Arabic numerals at 12, 6, and 9, and the date window at 3. The large Alpha-style hour and minute hands are brightly luminous, as are all of the indices (including the arrows at 12, 6, and 9). It has a silver stick central second. The dial is signed with the cross and circle Zodiac logo in silver, and is signed "Zodiac, Sea Wolfe, Automatic." As a dive watch, it has a robust, functional rotating bezel, allowing the diver to keep track of time, and therefore how much oxygen is left in their tank. The screw down crown also features the Zodiac logo.

This Zodiac Sea Wolf dive watch is cased in a 34mm round stainless steel case, which protects the Swiss automatic movement features 17 jewels, a base caliber of 70, caliber 72, and is unadjusted. It is waterproof up to 20 ATM/ 200M/ 660 FT.

It is finished with a 20mm handsome black leather two-piece strap with a silver-toned buckle.

This Zodiac Sea Wolf is a very attractive dive automatic dive wristwatch that will be great to wear or to enjoy in a collection. It is in great condition and runs very well!

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.
 
We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust lighting when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.

The condition is pre-owned.

The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended.
Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
It will be carefully packed.
