A little back story: my wife and I visit my snowbird parents down in Vero Beach, Florida every winter, and we spend a great deal of time keeping our eyes out for sea turtles and various sea life any time we’re at the beach or paddleboarding in the mangroves. We’re trying to get down there during the spring/summer so that we can be there for sea turtle-hatching season. Just picture those adorable babies scurrying to the surf every time you gaze down at this gorgeous watch on your wrist.
Like all Zodiac watches, you can expect the highest level of craftsmanship and performance: a new Swiss-made STP 1-21 movement, rotating bezel, Super-LumiNova® hands/indexes, stainless steel five-link bracelet, and water resistance up to 20 ATM. Everything you need for your next snorkeling/scuba dive to see these majestic sea creatures.

About Zodiac Watches
The history of Zodiac watches actually goes all the way back to 1882 in the land of all great timepieces: Switzerland. Of course, back then they were all making pocket watches that still hung from your suit on a chain. Like all brands that have stood the test of time, Zodiac adapted and evolved with the times and the transition to wristwatches as the 20th century progressed.
However, the ball really started rolling in 1953 with the introduction of the Sea Wolf, the world’s first purpose-built dive watch for the general public. Now, everyone could channel their inner Jacques Cousteau and explore the ocean. Or, they could show off their watch and brag about how deep you can dive with it.
If the watch is good enough for Sean Connery’s James Bond and Navy SEALS, it’s good enough for the rest of us.
