The watch collection grows again

[johnmrson]

I've been after a GMT watch for a little while now. I've struggled to find a good one within my budget ($500). Anyway Lady Luck smiled on me today and I stumbled across this Zodiac V-Sport. It's a true GMT with the GMT hand being independent of the time on the watch which is what I was after. I love the orange bezel but the tan strap doesn't do much for me so I've ordered a black leather Hirsch strap to put on it. It's a good size being 44mm across the case so it'll have some wrist presence.

Anyway, here's a couple of the ebay pictures.

That's kind of cool. Not a watch I am familiar with, but I like the look.

Yes, fairly new to me as well. Zodiac is a Swiss company in operation since 1882. After financial trouble the company was bought out by Fossil Inc in 2001.

Congrats on your new watch. The orange bezel gives it a little pop.

Congrats! So, is that a vintage (used) watch, then? I did a quick google and didn't seem to see any new ones for sale.

Congrats. I haven't seen that model before, but I like the Zodiac Oceanaire. That's a real looker. Is this one an auto or quartz? I know a lot of their modern releases have switched to quartz.

I like it!

That's cool. A bit different with the orange bezel and light tan strap.

I love sport straps
