NEW Zodiac Ceramic COSC Super Sea Wolf Bargain

[@MrZanzibar123]

I think it is a ceramic shell over steel, which explains why it’s not so light. Still their best yet.

[@ClickSpringReview]

Yes you are right Mr Zanzibar 👍🏻

[@BartMan59]

The rotating bezel is a unidirectional. A ceramic body over a steel core which accounts for the heft in weight over a full ceramic case, but reduces overall cost. I just purchased the beach style (blue/white) for less than $1K new. Thanks for the vid.

[@ClickSpringReview]

Yes it is I show the backplay of the bezel in the video, I like this watch a lot but I know many are not fans of the STP movements

[@BartMan59]

@@ClickSpringReview This will be my 1st piece with a STP movement. I couldn't resist this piece just bcz of: (1) the horological history with the Zodiac Sea Wolf with the other top 2 dive watches (Blancpain and Rolex); (2) although a STP movement, it's a COSC cert, and finally: (3) the great price under $1K brand new fm an AD.

[@ClickSpringReview]

Its a get watch for the money the only problem I had was the stem was cut a little short , so if you try and hand wind it it would go straight to dating setting but this could be sorted under warranty or any watchmaker could fit a new stem

@@ClickSpringReview I've read/heard other KZbin bloggers critique the same.

[@robertl8429]

at the AD, what did you do to negotiate the sub 1k price? did you say, ok i can get this on the internet for less, or did you just say "I'll give you 950$ for it" and he agreed? I'm only able to order online since I'm over seas and have it shipped, so I'd have to negotiate over the phone, so trying to figure out a good strategy.

There is something about Zodiac. Not sure about the colorful models, but those more "pro" and the likes of this one are definitely worth taking a look. As a plus, their bracelet features stretchy bits at the clasp, very oldschool.

[@ClickSpringReview]

I do agree there is just something cool about them , and turn out F&G are now offering this watch for only £1200 its an even greater bargain ,

[@Peter-2704]

I like this one and am exploring different case materials for my next watch purchase.

[@ClickSpringReview]

Its a cool model and turns out F&G have it on sell for only £1275 which is just crazy Peter

[@Hectorsdad]

The dial colour is lovely. I agree about the wall of text. Perhaps if they’d put the SeaWolf logo below and skipped the rest of the text it would have been better, but it’s all subjective. Overall a really nice watch for the money.

[@ClickSpringReview]

It's an interesting watch for the money being its made of ceramic and as you say the dial just looks great. turns out F&G now have it up for £1275 so it just keeps getting better

[@fahadkhan-db6bh]

Hey I’ve been looking at this ret for a while, thanks for the review. Couple of things, that insert is capped by bakelite (quoted I believe) as are most Zodiacs (strangely), also I should point out this case actually has a metallic core, which I understand can actually make it more shatter prone, but I may be wrong about that. You could dig more, perhaps. Thanks and good luck

[@ClickSpringReview]

Hi the bezel insert didn't feel like bakelite would be cool if it was as it would age of time , and yeah it has a steel core which means if you did down it it shouldn't shatter in half like my friends old IWC did at a cost of 4k to repair , as the steel should at lest keep it in tact , but would still made a mess

[@word42069]

It’s a great watch, especially for the money. I told myself no more divers but alas…

[@ClickSpringReview]

lol it has to be done 😁

[@pruteanu6]

Great content as usual!!!❤

[@ClickSpringReview]

Thank you Sir ☺️

[@lupodisol]

Lugs too long. I would like to see this watch in 38mm.

[@ClickSpringReview]

Yeah they are a little long , if they went with 38mm I feel they'd better of removing some of the text of the dial also

[@ooyginyardel4835]

I just can’t get past rubber straps. They seem like a cheap shortcut to get a watch to market. They are undoubtedly inexpensive to manufacture and put on a quality timepiece but it seems that the buying public has bought into this trend. One man’s opinion: They’re cheesy.

[@ClickSpringReview]

All the brands have them now Sir like Patek and Rolex even when I had my Rolex DSSD I removed the bracelet and fitted a Rubber B strap and it was more comfortable and made it less top heavy , but each to there own 🫡

[@ooyginyardel4835]

@@ClickSpringReview: Indeed they do. It just seems (to me) to be a downward direction of many "premium" timepieces. The cheapening of the brand. Rubber straps on a Rolex! "Congratulations on your fifty years of service to the company. Here's your gold Rolex...but it has a rubber strap!"

[@ClickSpringReview]

I do what you mean but honestly if your somewhere hot a silicone strap is so much better than a metal bracelet or leather strap. plus you never have to re-pin one :)
