Bought this over the counter, but I know nothing about Zodiac watches so I have joined this forum in the hopes of learning a little bit about the watch (model, year it was made, potential value).

It works but it's a little beaten up.

Thanks in advance to all who help me.

That looks small to me, is it the ladies version? It also looks like the stem broke and the guts have slipped around inside the case.

Is is a mate to this one and there is information here. http://www.vintagezodiacs.com/zforums/index.php/topic,1946.0.html (http://www.vintagezodiacs.com/zforums/index.php/topic,1946.0.html)

Also, as y9ou just picked this up, be sure to read this page too: http://www.vintagezodiacs.com/watchrepair.php (http://www.vintagezodiacs.com/watchrepair.php)

womans watch.

I am no expert but nothing has slipped inside the case. It's set up on an angle.

Perhaps a better picture is needed.

If the watch still winds and sets by the crown with how it looks, then your dial feet are broken off and the dial has spun around to the wrong position over the movement.

The watch still winds and you can set the date/time.

Just saying is all. For that model, normally the date window is at 3 and that is where the crown and stem go into the movement. See the other watch I gave you the link to.
