Zodiac Partners with Italian Retailer for Super Sea Wolf 53 Compression Limited Edition Grimoldi Milano
Swiss-based Zodiac, founded in 1882, is a brand which has based its modern image upon many watches first developed in the mid-20th century. Chief among these is the ever-popular Super Sea Wolf 53 Compression, which takes inspiration from a skin diver’s watch launched in 1953, then only known as the Sea Wolf. More recently, the manufacturer has partnered with Italian retailer Grimoldi Milano to unveil a special edition of this now fan-favorite model, the new Super Sea Wolf 53 Compression Limited Edition Grimoldi Milano.
Possessing a similar overall design to previous Super Sea Wolf 53 models, this one is enhanced with distinctive green elements. Its case measures 40 mm by 49 mm, with a thickness of 13 mm, making it a solid mid-size diver easily able to fit on most wrists. The case is accented with primarily brushed finishing, though its deeply toothed bezel features some polishing, as does the domed, screw-down, signed crown. The lugs feature a slightly angled appearance common on mid-20th-century-style dive watches, and in particular on the original Zodiac Sea Wolf, from which this model draws its foremost design influences. These 20-mm lugs connect to a black leather ?field strap,? which appears to be identical to the familiar ?NATO?-style straps found on many models. While the field strap comes standard on this watch, the limited-edition package also includes a vintage-style tropic rubber strap as well as an additional NATO-style black rubber strap.
