The Zodiac Super Sea Wolf has an extra colour option for this summer, which brightens things up a tad. The company says the new light blue and yellow pattern is inspired by the sun rising, but we think it echoes the Gulf Racing car colours. Which is a good thing, classic combo. It makes the Super Sea Wolf a perfect motorsport watch for the summer, … Continue reading Summer Watches: Zodiac Sea Wolf Gets Gulf Spirit
Hamilton has launched a 41mm case diameter version of its Khaki Frogman diver. The all-rounder timepiece has 300m of resistance and features the H10 80 hour automatic movement. Plus it comes in steel bracelet or rubber strap options. The RRP is £1120 either way, so we say get the bracelet and buy an aftermarket silicone strap if you do venture underwater. The new watch makes … Continue reading Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman, Now in 41mm Case Size
Zodiac’s Super Sea Wolf is a mainstay model for the brand but there’s no denying that the skeleton dial, rainbow bezel Sea Wolf Skeleton is something different and modern. Inside the 40mm steel case there’s an STP movement, tweaked a bit by Zodiac, which is pretty standard practice for many bought in Sellita, ETA, STP and other movements these days. STP is actually owned by … Continue reading Zodiac Has Fresh Stocks of Super Sea Wolf Skeleton

I mean just look at the movement, beautifully presented via the see-thru caseback on the new Urban Field model. Yes, it’s a bought in Sellita SW210 series movement, but the Yema decoration really adds a classic touch; blue screw heads and Yema script on the bridgework, plus a smattering of synthetic rubies. Hypnotic to look at and a perfect contrast to the functional crosshair style … Continue reading Yema Just Built a Modern Classic, a Field of Dreams
Some may say that the Zodiac brand itself is a left field choice. You won’t impress anyone with a Zodiac on your wrist, in fact most of the general population wouldn’t know a Zodiac watch from a Zodiac V6 car.

The latest variation on the Hamilton Khaki Aviation is the Converter Chronograph, a blue dial slide rule bezel watch, which makes a budget alternative to the Breitling Navitimer.
