Zodiac Sea Wolf — Bakelite Bezel Cheap Original

The Story

Vintage Zodiac Sea Wolf models are climbing in popularity (and rarity) in the world of vintage watches. Appearing first in the mid-50s, these watches were among the first nave watches and many were distributed during the Vietnam war. This Sea Wolf is a stellar example of how these watches could age — this rare no-date version has a remarkable tropical patina on the dial, an original grey-blue bakelite bezel, and a stainless steel case in good condition. It also notably has a rare Zodiac-signed original crown.
