Thank you guys!  Now more about the watch.....The lume is as I expected .... no credit to mention as like most Swiss watch companies(watches below $1k...)  . Don't expect the lume of SEIKOs. I just DO NOT understand why these Swiss companies cannot even pay a little more for a better lume paint/application which is so cheap in cost?! Besides the lume, everything about the watch is SWEET!!! The size is 45mm w/o crown. It does not wear that big like many Seiko as the crown is at 4 o'clock.  Thickness is 16mm as I had measured. The sapphire crystal is slightly curved. The markings all are trimmed which you don't find in many watches these days. The hands are nice too which you don't see many like that and also the minute hand is red-trimmed. If you noticed close the second hand's tip is RED too! The bracelet clasp and crown are signed. Crown is screwed down and so is the case back(non see-thru but with some logo). Bracelet is like Omega Seamaster's style, so something different from your common oyster, jubilee and president styled bracelet. Overall the watch is hefty and the wear is nice for any wrist 6.5" and above(mine is 6 7/8"). My guess of the movt is SWISS ETA 2824-2 though no stated in the description(you can ask the customer service of ZODIAC watches at the link in my first post). Dial is slighlty darker yellow than the YELLOW monster and with SWISS MADE written on it & so is the case back. Last but not least, for the price below $500, you get a renowned brand, SWISS MADE with SWISS AUTO Movt!!! What can I say??? All the good points simply outweigh the one & only bad point(its lume)!!! I would highly recommend this watch to all!!!  (5 thumbs up!!!!) |

Yes Oscar, ZODIAC, DIESEL, DKNY and a few more other brands are under the same management/compnay I think. Anyway they preserve the household name of ZODIAC and with "SWISS MADE" on the front and back, one can't be wrong!!! In fact, it is cheaper than Oceanaut AM and also it is FULLY SWISS MADE! :):):) |

Hey Oscar you have to get one of this as it is really a very nice watch close up! I can't take pics to justify it. :( But it is worth every penny of it really! A keeper in my opinion! The price is great too for a SWISS MADE(not SWISS MOV'T:D:D:D:D) diver!!! :) O.A. Gaspar wrote: watchboy wrote: |

I thought Zodiac was owned by Fossil?? At any rate, it's good to see them making an automatic again. Great watch! |

Yes I forgot about FOSSIL! :PThat is one of the brands that owned by that watch GROUP company. And yes this is the newer lines of ZODIAC with Auto. The rest is quartz like the V-wolf....sigh, if onlythey put an auto movt in them too! Foster wrote: I thought Zodiac was owned by Fossil?? |
