Yes, the early 1990's plastic bezel version! Since I was just a high schooler who didn't care anything about watches in the early 90's, I've never actually seen one.
So I have a couple questions.
What size were these made in?
What's the quality like? They look like TAG Heuer Formula 1's from the late 80's - is the quality comparable or was Zodiac just doing an homage since Monnier used to work at TAG?
Are they worth adding to a Zodiac collection - if so at what price?
Here's a pic just to stimulate some conversation. :)

They do look Tagish. Keep in mind they are all quartz, so price should be real low.
The catalogs have all of those models and they made many different models.
I have one quartz zodiac I purchased just for the band, so it's real light and kinda feels, you know quartz.
I just personally do not like the quartz models.
The pic isnt all that clear but from what I can see........ I like it! :)
Is it for sale perhaps?
What's the mm diameter NOT including crown?
Sorry I don't own this one, so I can't even get a clearer pic. I saw this one online and was curious to learn more about them. The Quartz aspect I know about, but size and quality I'm a little unclear on. My gut tells me these were smallish, and of entry level quality for a Zodiac of that time period.
All of your observations are correct and to answer your last two part question, a resounding NO.
Just my 2 cents. If you want further info you can read all about them in the online 1990's catalogs.
I always thought those Tags looked like garbage anyways. Although I must say I think most Tags look like garbage. Designed to sell but not designed terribly well.
8) i own one of these with the blue bezel/ blue and red dial that i picked up real cheap on e bay. it has the original bracelet. it is just like the same TAG from the period of time, i believe they both used the same 7 jewel mvt. not my favorite zodiac by any means BUT it runs good and wears well, and gets a lot of compliments when i wear it. these ARE a part of zodiac history and every collection should have one.if you can get one around 50.00 in GREAT condition go for it, i did and i am not sorry!!! they are available in a lot of colors, both bezel and dial. plastic bezel will wear very easy but new bezels pop up for sale often--i bought 2 NOS for .99 each about a year ago. look at ebay ##320757690207 for the metal bezel model, i think it looks better. the pic looks good, but hard to tell actual condition, what is the price?? they are about 35mm, sea wolf size. i believe there was only one size available.
