Mid-Century Zodiac 14k and 18k Solid Yellow Gold Manual Movement Wristwatch

Zodiac Watches, or simply Zodiac, is an American brand of Swiss-made watches founded in 1882 by Ariste Calame in Le Locle, Switzerland. The company mostly focuses on its dive watches through its Sea Wolf line, one of the first modern dive watches, which debuted in 1953, before the Rolex Submariner and after Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. Fossil ended up acquiring Zodiac in the early 2000s.

Albeit for a small wrist size, this wristwatch would look great on anyone regardless of gender due to its classic design. That streamlined mesh strap in yellow gold goes with any outfit, anytime. Even at 70 years old, it's still got the ‘it’ factor. Ditch your screen, analog is the new you.
