In the 1960s the Aerospace GMT was Zodiac’s entry into a new genre of watches for travellers, commercial pilots and the otherwise jet set. Built off of the Sea Wolf format, the Aerospace featured a 24-hour bakelite bezel with a split dial, a more formal dial design, and, of course, a fourth hand on the dial for tracking a second time zone (three with the bezel). In the Spring of 2019 Zodiac brought the design back in a series of limited editions that sold out in a flash, becoming a modern cult hit. Now, the Super Sea Wolf GMT is available in two new editions with a new movement.
The Zodiac Super Sea Wolf GMT, like the original, is built off of a diver format, featuring a 40mm case with a sapphire crystal and 200m water resistance. A slight change is present in the brushed lugs which feature a sharp, polished bevel for a more formal and elegant look. Additionally, the bezel has been switched to a bi-directional mechanism with 24-clicks with the choice of either a Black/Grey bezel with a silver dial. Or a Pink/White bezel with a black dial. Both dial speaks to that of the original Aerospace, with applied markers and blocky hands for a mix of dress and sport.
Inside of the Zodiac Super Sea Wolf GMT (2024) is the new STP 7-20. This Swiss-made movement is a 26-jewel automatic with date, independent 24-hour hand, hand-winding, 40-hour power reserve, a frequency of 28,880 bph (beats per hour) and hacking seconds (the second-hand stops when the crown is pulled out).
