Since 1882, Zodiac Watches has been an innovative force in the watchmaking world, creating affordable, luxurious timepieces. First released in 1953, the Sea Wolf is Zodiac’s most important and iconic watch design, and it is one of the timepieces that has defined the modern dive watch. Zodiac has just announced the launch of its Special Edition Super Sea Wolf Aquamarine Dream, which is a collaboration between Zodiac and the founder of ‘A Blog to Watch,’ Ariel Adams. Inspired by his time in the Bahamas in 2019, the brilliant aquamarine colors of the seafloor captured his imagination as he spent time in the water.
It is these aquamarine colors that set this edition of the Sea Wolf apart from other modern versions of the watch. Multiple greenish-blue shades are used on the main dial, minute track, and rotating dive bezel, creating a deeply saturated look that echoes the tropics. Several small details were incorporated into the final watch by Adams; for example, the hands and hour markers are slightly rounded and meant to mimic stones that have been shaped by water. And the caseback has an enamel-filled etching in Adams’ handwriting that reads “I’d rather be swimming,” which nicely sums up the mental space this timepiece evokes. Powering the 40mm Aquamarine Dream is a chronometer rated STP 3-13 caliber. This Swiss-made automatic movement features 26-jewels, a swan-neck regulator, hand-winding, hacking seconds, and a power reserve of 44hr and a frequency of 28,800 bph for a smooth sweeping seconds hand. The case is water-resistant to 200 meters and comes mounted to a five-link bracelet and a rubber strap is also included.
