Feast your eyes on this exceptional Zodiac Professional 200 Meters, reference 313.46.37, a piece that captures the powerful resurgence of the mechanical tool watch in the 1990s. Zodiac, a brand with an incredible 1882 heritage (they released the legendary Sea Wolf diver before the Submariner, an amazing collector’s detail!), built this to be a serious, daily-wear machine. While many competitors cut corners with quartz during this era, this model proudly houses a Swiss-made automatic movement, giving it the soulful, sweeping seconds hand that every true horology enthusiast lives for.
What a lot of collectors don't realize is the quality of components here: this model features a Sapphire Crystal, a huge technical upgrade for a 200-meter diver of this period, ensuring superior scratch resistance and clarity for years to come—a feature often reserved for far pricier watches. The beautiful, creamy white dial with gold-toned markers and hands perfectly harmonizes with the bold two-tone steel and gold-plated rotating bezel, giving it a look that is both ready for the deep and polished enough for a dinner suit.
The tactile pleasure of the screw-down crown (essential for that 200m water resistance) and the robust, integrated two-tone bracelet cannot be overstated. This bracelet style is iconic to the era, feeling solid, secure, and incredibly comfortable on the wrist. This watch isn't just a diver; it's a testament to Zodiac’s enduring legacy and offers Swiss automatic prestige and rugged utility at a level that is deeply undervalued today. It's a must-have for any enthusiast looking for a high-quality, Swiss automatic diver with unmistakable vintage charisma.
