Zodiac Super Sea Wolf 53 - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

This Zodiac ZO9287 is a very beautiful watch, offered as a tribute to the "Baby Blue" of the same brand. Zodiac had launched its first Sea Wolf in 1953 (hence their current nickname: Super Sea Wolf 53), but it was only after being presented at the Swiss Watch Pavilion at the World's Fair in New York in 1964 that they were adopted by the public who still identify them today with the Vietnam War and the US Navy Seals. Its dial is a real visual delight, with its vintage lines, which evoke the 50s, and these colors that put you in a good mood. It measures 40 mm in diameter, 48 mm from lug to lug, 13 mm thick. It is water-resistant to 20 ATM. The hands, indexes (applied) and the point at noon on the bezel are covered with Super-Luminova C3 and the minute hand with BGW9. It houses a STP 3-13 caliber regulated for a precision of -2 / +5s per day. The case, in 316L steel, is very simple and classic, which highlights its dial and its glass bezel with the appearance of Bakelite.

Here is my Zodiac "Super sea wolf 53 compression" called baby blue, the diameter is 40mm, the thickness is 13mm, waterproof 20 ATM. The movement is an STP 3-13, I don't have the precise numbers but it works well, 44h reserve. The model exists in several colors, here we like it or we don't like it, for my part these colors on this steel bracelet type jubilee suit it perfectly, I am much less fan of its rubber bracelet. I find this watch very summery, very "holiday". This bracelet has a clasp system, very comfortable when the wrist swells with the heat, it widens by a few millimeters. Only downside, when I screw the crown back on, it catches slightly, quality problem or maybe it's just on my watch.
