Sold without box or papers. The history of Zodiac begins in Le Locle, Switzerland, where Ariste Calame opened a watchmaking workshop in 1882. The brand name was registered in 1908. A few decades later, Zodiac made its mark in the world of sports watches with the “Sea Wolf,” launched in 1953, at a time when recreational diving was experiencing a real boom. Rotating bezels, easy-to-read dials, and bold designs characterize much of its production. Today, Zodiac watches serve as a reminder of that era when Swiss manufacturers were designing new timepieces to support underwater activities.
