COVER STORY
The updated version is true enough to the original to not be mis-
taken for anything else, but with some nice, new touches and technical
updates that bring it into the future without losing its retro roots.
CULT OF DEVOTEES
The Swiss brand has been around since 1882 and has a loyal, you
might say, cult following. The original Zodiac Super Seawolf remains
one of the most sought-after vintage dive watches.
The original Sea Wolf from 1953 and the Super Sea Wolf of the
1970s are arguably two of the most iconic dive watches ever built,
and were even more impressive in that era as the Super Sea Wolf in-
creased water resistance from 20atm (200 meters) to an unprecedent-
ed 75atm (750 meters). This was good enough to put it on the radar
of the U.S. Navy Seals, who took it on as their preferred timepiece in
the 1970s.
