I think so. I think what you are seeing is hazing on the crystal or mayve the 3 transparent disks.

Edit: Most likey the 50 year old discs.

Thank you very much for your answer!
The seller swear that is serviced but not a clear certification if it.
My doubt is the surrounding of the blue dial that seems more "white" like the one mounted in the watch with gray dial. I was fear that the watch has originally a grey dial and then changed with a blue one.
Do you think the watch seems esthetically good and original?

That is a great price if it was fully serviced correctly!

Hi, can I have your opinion on this one 450$ serviced.
Thank you
Andrea

thank you for your answer!

good to know, thanks. then i will take it to the watchmaker first before i wear it.

Nice watch in very nice condition. That will make a fine family heirloom! No much to tell I am afraid though. She is correct, that is a 1970's Zodiac Automatic Dress Watch.

Be sure to read this before you wear it though!

Hello everyone!

I have inherited a beautiful watch from my grandpa. Unfortunately, I know very little about it and hope that you guys can help me.

this is all I know about it:

My mother said that it is probably from the early 70s (and he was very proud of the watch, as it was his first automatic watch).

He always wore it with a leather strap, which unfortunately broke after all these years.

He bought it  in Germany.

Thanks for your help, it would be really awesome if I could find out more about this beautiful watch.

Not really. It is a popular model with collectors.

Thank you very much for your answer!
I'll take a look at better offers, unfortunately, the majority of the watch comes from the USA and I have to pay about 25% extra for the duty fee. In addition to that many sellers don't ship overseas. I have been looking at this particular model for about 1 year and I never saw a good one (bracelet no damage ) lower than 550/600.

But I am not in a hurry and I'll keep searching, now I know that I can find an astrographic at about 450 euros.
Do I need to have special precautions looking for this model this model?

Thank you.
Andrea

Sorry but both seem high to me, even with the low exchage rate. Have they been serviced? If not figure another $300 to get that done before you wear it.

Let me show you this. These watches have been sold recently.
