Zodiac's latest Super Sea Wolf models

Post by AtomicTom » Fri Mar 08, 2019 11:25 am

Not sure if everyone has had time to see these new Super Sea Wolf models.

Seems like both watches have brushed stainless steel cases that measure
30mm x 48mm x 12mm, but am wondering if that is supposed to be 40mm
instead. You also have either all stainless, or stainless, with gold finishes,
200m WR, sapphire crystals, mineral crystal inlay bezels with neat accents,
and either white, or black dials with C3 Super-Luminova coated markers,
and hands. Along with STP 3-13 automatic, and stainless steel bracelet, or
leather strap too.

A few pictures...

i was originally excited a couple of years ago when they first announced they were bringing these back and showed some renderings. but honestly, there's just something cold about them that just doesn't live up to the original watch. if they'd just taken that design, scaled it up to 38-40mm, and not changed anything, i'd have been all in. but my original vintage is still just a better looking watch, despite being 35mm.

Yep, although I’m strangely drawn to the black and gold one...

Can see where you guys are coming from, and think you are onto something
here with these ! Think Zodiac wanted to make a new Sea Wolf that was
different than the classic, but had an overall similar feel to the originals.
But at the same time, maybe since they are not direct re-issues, or the
same exact design made larger. They may not have the same feel, or be
as warm as the originals.

Which is why maybe the black, and gold accented one catches your
eye Mike. Because maybe the accents add a little more personality,
or character sir. :thumbsup:

It's a really interesting thing that everyone is pointing out ! :salute:

Thanks a lot guys !!!

I like the gilty dial, but would want it on that bracelet, looks like they took cues from Monta with the newer clasp, though I like the spring loaded extension of the other Seawolf re-issue butterfly type bracelet.
