Zodiac Zodia-Chron Hermetic (Ref. 692-841), 1970s

Dealer description — Craft & Tailored

The Zodiac Zodia-Chron Hermetic Chronograph is definitely one of the more celebrated amongst the early Zodiac models for both its rarity and stylish aesthetic. The Zodia-Chron features one of the most intricate dials produced by Zodiac out of this era, displaying many different characteristics that make it so attractive. The multi-stepped dial has a metallic outer track with red accents (the only color on the dial) with a brushed silver main dial and matte white receded sub-dials. This combination of dial levels and textures makes for a very sophisticated design, that elevates what could have just been another silver dial chronograph out of this era.
