Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Compression Diver Black Ceramic (ZO9595)

Description

The newly reincarnated Super Sea Wolf Compression model carries on the daring DNA while still retaining the signature heritage design. With 200 metres of water resistance the ceramic case will readily protect you both underwater and on land. This limited edition has a high-polish, hardened ceramic case with a steel core for ultimate performance and longevity. And of course, ZODIAC’s in-house automatic movement, the STP 1-11 hidden under the screw-down caseback. First introduced to the watchmaking scene in the 1980s, ceramic is scratch-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and fade-resistant.

In a competitive market for dive watches, ZODIAC stands apart from other watch manufacturers with its fearless use of colour. As early as the 1960s, Zodiac was producing watches with unusual colour combinations, such as pale blue for the bezel against a bright neon orange and black dial that jumped out among the sea of mostly conservative all-black dive watches at the time.

THE BACKSTORY

ZODIAC was built on value and volume during its golden era from the ’50s to the ’70s. The watches provided an affordable tool that could stand up to the circumstances the adventurous wearers often found themselves in, be it diving, racing, or crawling through the jungle. Modern ZODIAC doesn’t stray from that formula, and the watches put forth a very strong value proposition. Swiss Technology Production (STP), Fossil Group’s in-house movement manufacturer, supplies movements for many ZODIAC watches. In addition, the modern designs are tasteful and thoughtful interpretations of the watches that built the ZODIAC name and forged its reputation as a reliable tool watchmaker.
