Title: Need help identifying a Zodiac model - pic included
Post by: fman on May 03, 2013, 05:46:12 PM
I have a vintage zodiac watch that I have had for 35+ years, I got the watch used so it is older.  I have not been able to find another like it nor could I find a pic of it on the internet anywhere.  My jeweler removed the back and found "case #1400"  "Movement #106 17 jewel".  The watch works great but I need a model # to track down a band for it.  Any help is appreciated.

That is a Zodiac dress watch from the 70's. That is about as good as it gets.

As for a band: http://www.vintagezodiacs.com/zforums/index.php/topic,435.0.html (http://www.vintagezodiacs.com/zforums/index.php/topic,435.0.html)
