Zodiac is a brand that few know - but those that do - really know.

The Zodiac Zodia-Chron may not have landed on the moon, completed hot laps at Daytona International Speedway or even guided Allied bomber squadrons, but it’s got all the characteristics of the watches that did, right down to the ever-reliable Valjoux 72 that powers it. 

From its sleek 37mm steel case with slightly angled lugs to its clean ‘Albino Panda’ triple-register dial and fixed 'Dot-Over-90' aluminum tachymeter bezel, this chronograph easily checks the boxes. Add in subtleties like the red hash marks on the chapter ring, the slightly smaller hour register and crosshair crown, you’ve got a chronograph that punches well above its weight class.

We think that this is an underrated vintage gem, overlooked by many, but absolutely should not be by you.
