Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Chronograph

[chris76]

This is my first post and here is my first mechanical vintage Zodiac!
Zodiac is my favorite watch brand since i purchased a quartz "red dot professional" in the early 90's.
Super Sea Wolf was the watch i always wanted to own and i spent many hours on internet trying to find one. I could not believe my eyes when I saw for sale a SSW Chrono with Valjoux 726. Finally i managed to get it and i' m very happy for that!

I would appreciate any information on this watch.

Thank you!

Nice catch! Many want one, few buy or even find them. Here is a pic form a 1975 Zodiac sales catalog.

That looks simply amazing 

Great first post!  Where did you find that?

Looks fantastic!

I've been looking for one of these aswell, but as you said, they are extremely hard to find!

Was that the one from Germany listed on ebay a while back?

Anyway, great find!

Chris, that has got to be the absolute Holy-Freaking-Grail of Sea Wolves.  Wear it in good health, you lucky bum!

Nice.  I am jealous!

I am joining the club, but mine is no where near the quality yours is in.

I bought a well used model and BWG is working on it now and I should have it in a few weeks.

The watch I purchased was used as a true diver watch.
I have some history on it from the original owner and will post pics and the history when it is restored.
The original band came with the watch, but it probably will not be able to be restored.

Man that is a beauty Chris, a rare one and in fantastic shape as well.  Like you, I've wanted one forever too.  Post some more photos when you can, if i can't actually snag one myself, at least I can drool over someone else's until I do.

Amazing!

I'll never find one, as well as I'll never find a Sea-chron...
