Zodiac Sea Wolf "1750B" with Bakelite bezel
The 1950’s are seen as the decade of the diving watch. With Rolex introducing the Submariner in 1954 and many brands soon followed. Not only a trend in watches but an answer on the growing interest in the “adventures” lifestyle by the general public. In the late 1950’s Zodiac also came with a diving watch or more precise a skin diver. Skin diver are usually smaller in proportion and can be used in water but with a lower depth rating.
This Zodiac has some of the most desirable aesthetics that is still around for a relatively affordable price. Let’s sum up these features: Diving watch, steel, high grade automatic movement, Bakelite bezel, glossy black Swiss T<25 dial, early 1960’s elegance in 35mm and a Zodiac bracelet in steel made by JB Champion.
This model iteration came in the early 1960’s and is called the Version 3 - 1750B. B stand for the “Sky Blue” Bakelite bezel. A watch that shows it’s age but in a very honest way that fits the theme of the true diving spirit!
