Title: Older men's wrist watch Zodiac
Post by: Steffen on September 10, 2009, 06:00:26 AM
Hi all,

I have a question about my Zodiac Wrist Watch.
I searched the Internet for some information's, but the only thing i found is a Dealer with the same Wrist Watcht.
This Dealer also know nothing about this Watcht.


The Watch is a present of my death Grandfather-so i was hungry for every piece of information ;)

What i like to know:

Typ of this Wrist Wacht?
Typ of the used movement?
The year of construction?

Here some Pic's:

Hi Steffen,

It looks like it is the Datographic, but I could be wrong.

Agreed. That is probably a Late 1960's Zodiac dress watch known as a Datographic. It probably has a Zodiac caliber 72 movement in it.

Hello poulbrix, hello Butch

Thank you very much!

The watch was cleaned completely and now she got a new Sapphir Glass.

Sorry for the fingerprints on the glass ;D

The watchmaker say, it's a Cal. SR280 -but i can`t belief it!


Greetings Steffen

Hello butch.
I searched the Internet for more information and i found some news.You spoke about the Cal.72, the Day get changed by turn clockwise and counterclockwise 12 a clock and the movement cal.72b get's changed  by pushing the crown.So i think it`s the Cl.72b because my wrist watcht is working by "pushing the crown".

Did you have more of the Vintage Magazine.

Thanks

Steffen
