Please help me find the serial number on this watch. Where is it located? Thank you.

This watch was in a box of my dads things, could anyone point me in the right direction to have it serviced? I have called local jewelry stores and no one around my area works on these type of watches and I don't want to ship something to some random place I find online. Thank you in advance.

Thanks a lot for the additional info Grossisten. Much appreciated!

Ask and ye shall receive.

Hey everyone,

In the words of Princess Leia - "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope!"

I have bought 10+ stems for my broken SST 3600 with the 86 movement, and every time the seller swears it is the right one, and none of them ever fit. Does anyone have or know where I can get one?

I'm really sorry to ask this as my first post. The watch has been broken for about eight months and I cannot find a stem. It's all it needs!

The Zodiac Hermetic Aerospace Jet (Reference 758) is a vintage 24-hour pilot's watch produced in the early 1970s. It is a "true" 24-hour timepiece, meaning the hour hand completes only one full rotation of the dial every 24 hours rather than the standard two.  Caliber 721

Additionally I have another donor watch if interested.  It is missing the caseback.

It's a very nice watch - sort of an arch-dress watch almost.

As the video says the Kingline was the top dress watch line of Zodiac from around 1968 and onwards. My impression until seeing yours was that the Kinglines were only issued with hi-beat movements (36000 bph) - but as it is not mentioned on the dial or in the video, this may be an older variant. The high-beat movements was the result of a collaboration between several manufacturers and the movement provider AS (A. Schild, part of ETA today). Zodiac was part of this collaboration which specifically aimed at launching a high beat movement, that they claimed was the most precise in the world. This movement was introduced around 1968. If it's not featured in your watch it would be produced before that year, we may then assume. I do not think however, that the Kingline was introduced as early as the 1950'ies, I have not seen anything to suggest this. There were other model lines marketed in that decade, like the Glorius.

Your watch is a chronometer, ie a certified very precise watch. Zodiac in advertising material of the period claim that something like 80% of their watches would be able to obtain a chronometer status. As this was costly - an external party (today known as COSC) tested such watches for a fee - only top of the line models were certified.

I would say that it is probably as fine a watch as you may find from any major brand of the period, given the high general quality of Zodiacs of that period. Zodiac - even if a much smaller company - saw Omega as a main competitor and aimed to produce watches to match those of that brand.
