New Zodiac Olympos

Post by AtomicTom » Tue Apr 17, 2018 10:29 am

Has everyone had a chance to see Zodiac's new Olympos already?

Looks like the new watch takes you back to the classic design with it's
cool looking 37.5mm case, and flared sides near 10, and 2 o'clock. In
addition, the watches come in five different versions that include three
regular models in polished stainless with a black dial, brushed stainless
steel with a champagne dial, yellow gold with a gold dial, a limited edition
'military dial' version with a textured black dial, and then 'mystery dial'
variation that's in the works too.

A few of the other details include 50M WR, stick markers, and baton hands
for the regular variations, and lumed Arabic numbers, and field watch-like
hands for the limited military model. On top of that, you have leather straps,
and STP 3-13 which is a variation of the ETA 2824 behind it all.

Here is a look...

Unusual and interesting until I read 37.5mm. What is that?

The alarm clock size watch fad is dying out about time. I have notice new watches coming down to earth in size.

Yeah, don't like the case shape but there are elements of the watch I do like.

The case reminds me of the vintage Zenith Defy it had almost the same shape and it was a big seller back when it came out. I came close a few times buying a vintage Zenith Defy with original Zenith bracelet but never got around to it.

At least it is authentically goofy.

I actually like that first one Tom with the black dial. I would totally wear that, and ill bet i could pull off a 37.8mm watch with my small wrists

Oh cool Eric, yeah think that could totally work for you ! :) They say in the
article that it actually wears a little larger too because of those flared sections
at 10, and 2 also Eric, and everyone !!! :salute: So maybe could even be closer to
39mm like you wanted there Terry. :thumbsup:

Thanks just for looking guys, and thanks so much also for that fantastic picture
of the original Steve !!!

There are some goofy elements, but the LE military dial could work (for me) if only it were a little bit bigger.

Who will be the first to get?
