Signs of Zodiac The retro-inspired Super Seawolf puts true Swiss dive watch heritage on your wrist. T he Summer of Love, the Moon landing, the Bicentennial, the Beatles and iconic dive watches. For most people that list of 1960s and 1970s milestones wouldn’t include that last one. But for a watch guy, particularly a dive-watch guy, it is equally impor- tant. Well, almost as important as the Summer of Love.   They are unmistakable when you see them. The retro-cushion case with the hidden lugs that reduces snagging on dive gear, the dials with bright colors (for their time) in Safety Orange and Caution Yellow. The mind’s eye recalls images in magazines of a silhouette of a diver in the deep, sunlight breaking dimly overhead, spear gun in hand, plumbing the depths in search of adventure. One of those masterful creations of that time and place turns fifty this year – The Zodiac Super Sea Wolf. And, of course, Zodiac has decided to celebrate the momentous anniversary with an exceptional commemorative edition of the original Super Sea Wolf. AboutTime Magazine | 41
