Zodiac released three new watches today in the SeaWolf lineup. The White Ceramic Super Sea Wolf Collection. Yea, you read that right. Zodiac has new ceramic watches out. In typical Zodiac style, they are bright and colorful and very fun. Zodiac does fun and funky colors so well. Where I typically shy away from fun and funky color combinations zodiac has made them intriguing and approachable. They have several models that I would love to call my own that if it was any other brand I more than likely wouldn’t even consider it. Other brands really should take notice.
Ok, we know zodiac and their amazing color pallet. We’re here for the ceramic. I recently had a chance to get a sneak preview of these and they are stunning. Now in 41mm a 1mm increase from all the other super sea wolfs these watches are great. The fit and feel are solid without being too much. When you put it on it feels like any other seawolf you’ve worn. The style cues are similar as well making this watch a great-looking piece out of the gate. The ceramic was a solid choice making it a great option for the ultimate daily watch. The ceramic and stainless steel case will keep the stunning colors it’s offered in stay vibrant And will offer abrasion and corrosion resistance and durability for years and years. Paired with the STP 1-11 in-house movement makes the already great super sea wolf a solid workhorse of a watch.
The 20mm lug width is going to offer you tons of colorful strap pairings should you ever bother to take it off the very comfortable and well-matched rubber strap. At an MSRP of $1795, it comes in at a reasonably doable price range and while can be steep for some collectors(myself included) it’s worth the saving and stretching of the budget in my opinion.
Back to the color pallet, these ceramic watches are offered in 3 colorways orange and white, blue and white, and a very fun and funky green and orange and white. The white bezel is stunning and easy to read and not overly cluttered. The polish on the bezel is just the right amount of gloss and shine without feeling too blingy.
I had the opportunity to try on the orange and white, even though I like orange It wouldn’t have been my first pick but once on, I loved it. It immediately felt right, it was comfortable it felt bright and airy and I could see myself enjoying this watch for countless summer activities and hours in and around the water over the summer.
When a watch company can make you smitten with a watch that’s well outside your comfort zone in terms of style or color and make you smile and even change your mood for the better because it just looks and feels so fun, they’re doing something right. When they can do that within the first 5 seconds of trying it on, you know they have a winner.
This crazy watch nerd hobby that we all love so much is about finding fun and enjoyment in these watches. And the zodiac super sea wolf ceramic collection offers that in spades. If you love color and fun, these are a must-have. If you’re reserved about the idea or feel overly colorful watches are garish and off-putting, I did too until I tried one on. I urge you to try one on and you’ll immediately understand what I’ve said here.
Boost your summer mood and put a little happiness on your wrist, it will pair well with the smile it puts on your face.
