The iconic 1953 Sea Wolf timepiece by luxury watchmaker Zodiac has been revived in 2023. The result boasts two new interactions in slick and eye-catching colorways. The brand has renamed the 1953 Sea Wolf silhouette as the Super Sea Wolf Compression.
The first colorway, Gulf, combines light blue and orange detailing which plays around the dial and the bezel. The Sea Foam palette, on the other hand, features bright turquoise on the dial and a tonal rubber strap. Both timepieces are offered at extravagant prices hinting at their craftsmanship and exclusivity, complete with Swiss-made automatic caliber and 20 ATM water resistance. While the Gulf retails for $1,595 USD, the Sea Foam is available for $1,295 USD.
