Hi All, hoping someone can help identify this Zodiac watch - no idea what's happened to the dial or if it's meant to be like that! thanks in advance!

Looks like an early to mid '70s Day-Date.  Don't know if this just had a model number or they actually gave it a name. 
There were SST models similar to this as well as a Kingline.  I don't know enough about movements to say if this is an SST (high beat movement).  Perhaps someone else can.
That dial didn't leave the factory that way, it's been corroded for sure.  Looks like it may originally have been blue.

I think that is the later ETA movement used by DIXI when they owned Zodiac. Maybe Yuri or BWG can confirm that.

It is AS 2066 caliber. According to the watch movement web archive, it was in production in 1969-1978.
