Boutique watch brand Zodiac has announced the launch of the Super Sea Wolf Compression Watch, its newest timepiece that was purpose-built for ocean exploration. The watch arrives as a reimagined version of the brand's popular 1960s-era Super Sea Wolf model, which also delivered a function-first design geared towards actual divers.
The sleek watch features a 40mm stainless steel case, 200 meters of water resistance, and a three-hand automatic movement. In addition, the watch's dial features an all-white face with blue detailing and blue hands, a design decision that, according to the company, is meant to evoke the imagery of the ocean and seafaring.
For those interested, the Super Sea Wolf Compression Watch is now available to purchase on Zodiac's website.
