Put on the mystery dial Zodiac today. One of my favorite watches.

Three sapphire crystals: One with the hour hand on the glass, one with the minutes and one dot for the seconds. Stacked together they appear to float.

Eta 2824-2, Real Engine turned dial. screwed down back

Its the Astrographic. One of the last Zodiacs made before they were sold to Fossil.

They were limited and available for a while on the web for sunstantial discounts over what they were intended to sell for. Bought mine from Bernard Watch in Texas.

Thanks for posting this! I didn't know that Zodiac had a Mystery Dial! How cool!

I have been a fan of these watch dials wince I saw my first one. It was a 1950s watch, but I can't recall the brand.

There are several brands out there, and this Zodiac is a great example of a unique watch design!

Congrats on acquiring this watch! It's a true collectors piece!

ENJOY!
