Lot 135
Zodiac, Le Locle, Swiss, "Zodia-Chron Hermetic", Ref. 692 841, Cal. Zodiac 69/Val. 72, 39 mm, circa 1965
A rare vintage wrist chronograph with tachy bezel
Case: steel, screw back. Dial: silvered.
With the introduction of the "Super Seawolf", Zodiac established an excellent reputation as makers of robust wrist chronographs for themselves; the Super Seawolf was very popular with the military because of its superior water resistance. Zodiac’s later "Zodia-Chron Hermetic" model was a remarkable water-resistant chronograph with a stunningly beautiful, graduated and silvered dial. The fixed tachymeter bezel is identical to the Omega Speedmaster’s "dot over ninety".
The watch is in outstanding condition with some very few signs of wear on the case. The brushed silver-coloured dial with bright red 5-minute markers is breathtaking and shows no signs of age.
