The Watch
Zodiac was founded in 1882 by Ariste Calame. Their headquarters can be found in Locle Switzerland. The name Zodiac was patented in 1908 when he started to manufacture wristwatches. In 1953 we saw the introduction of the Sea Wolf, one of the first commercial purpose-built dive watches. On October 1, 2001, Fossil Inc. purchased the worldwide rights to the Zodiac brand name for approximately $4.7 million.

Personal Note
The Zodiac Seawolf is a range of watches that has true history and looks fantastic, best of both worlds! I've always wanted to source a great original Seawolf for the personal collection until that day I'll maybe settle with a modern... But wow, they are fantastic and build so well, no surprises that this flew away before it even landed on the website!
