ZODIAC Limited Edition Aerospace GMT

[Aaron Shapiro]

Honestly, I am impressed with Zodiac. With such a polarizing show so far it looks like they nailed this model. Hopefully, this is a sign of the times for Zodiac and shows some of Fossil's intentions with the brand (if we the Sea Wolfeses didn't already). I'd love to see STP step up their game and create an accurate GMT movement. Can you imagine this watch, sapphire crystal, and bezel, plus a flyer's GMT at around ~$1800 MSRP? I'd be a buyer.

There’s a big gap between making nice watches with outsourced movements and making nice watches with in-house movements. If Zodiac was able to produce that, it probably be at a much inflated price point.

It’s precisely what’s so impressive about brands like Nomos. Small brands doing legitimate movement design and production at a reasonable price point. The style often is polarizing, but the value is unmatched.

Certainly, some big brands do it too (Seiko) but it’s a little less impressive.

Keep in mind Zodiac (owned by Fossil) has access to bespoke movement manufacturing via STP. That's mostly what I was referencing since they're using the STP movements in the Sea Wolves.

Yeah definitely aware of it. Just that even within movement manufacturing, making changes like that are usually tough.

Truth be told, if they can do it and keep price point, I’m very interested.

Alpina has done this with an in house modified Sellita movement. While it certainly isn’t a true in house movement, but it bridges the the two camps by providing an additional feature (jump hour hand GMT) in a factory supported / warrantied package in a sub $2K MSRP.

I guess since Alpina is the only “affordable” brand I can think of who does this, they might be considered to be the exception that proves the rule.

Good point. I give Alpina a ton of respect. They do a lot of things right.

Cool. Congrats
So how do you like it?

[bedlam]

Yeah, that's hot.

[brash47]

Love it. I have a good collection of super se wolf's and a couple of topper editions coming. The attention to detail with this one is really good. I think it's in a good price point. Zodiac is really on their game right now.

Looks really good in real life pics.

I’d rock that on an Erika’s Original. Very nice.

I'm a fan of the orange...

I'm a fan of the orange...

Me too. May end up getting one, been trying to resist

[brash47]

I really like the orange also, but I have a weakness for GMT's so it's a less "loud" daily wear watch. Also, it is the "original" rereleased in black/grey....here ya go.
