Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Chronograph 872-843 Box and Papers
Launched in the 1970s as an intensely reliable and robust version of their popular Sea-Wolf, the Zodiac Super Sea Wolf found its way into the hands of military servicemen, professional divers and the sport diving community alike thanks to its reliable construction, legible display and affordability. Blending an oversized 43.5mm stainless steel tonneau-shaped case with chronograph features alongside its uni-directional bezel, tachymeter, luminescent hour marks and hands, the ref. 872-843 is intensely unique watch on the wrist with a flavour of maritime heritage that injects some personality into its design. Showing that Zodiac thought of everything when creating the ref. 872-843, its bezel must be depressed before it can be turned, to prevent accidental turning. Water-resistant to an impressive, for the time, depth of 200m, the ref. 872-843 has guaranteed performance and durability in challenging environments throughout its lifetime as Zodiac intended. Whether exploring the depths of the ocean or navigating the urban landscape, this watch is a testament to both form and function, embodying the spirit of exploration and precision craftsmanship that has enabled it to do just about every job asked of it.
THE DIAL Boasting a matte black dial that has lightened over the years, this example's display benefits two-fold from its aged luminescent hour markers and hands that supercharge it with even more vintage flair.
THE CONSTRUCTION Boasting a very unique tonneau-shaped construction that hides almost all the ref. 872-843's bracelet, its case wears on the wrist unlike anything else on the modern watch market, which highlights just how unique the aesthetics of the 1970s were.
