1970s Zodiac Astrographic SST 'Mystery Dial' Automatic 882-963
Here we have an amazing example of a 1970s Zodiac Astrographic SST 'Mystery Dial' Automatic 882-963 with its distinctive 36mm TV-shaped rectangular stainless steel case. The case shape hides the lugs with a case thickness of 12mm and a lug-to-lug length of 41.5mm, giving the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side is a signed crown. A TV-shaped crystal sits above a sunburst blue dial. The outer minute track has lume plots marking the hours precisely painted. At 12 oâclock, a framed date window. In the centre, we have the Zodiac motif with the illusionary hands and sweeping second hand on a rotating disc that appears to float around the dial. Text on the dial consists of âZodiac Automaticâ and âAstrographic SSTâ printed in white. Zodiac designed this style of the dial to reflect âtwo satellites and a fiery red moonâ, which can be seen in their advertising of the time. On the reverse is a screw-down case back, inside an automatic Zodiac Cal. 88D, 36,000 beats per hour. It has hacking and a quick-set date function by repeatedly pushing in of the crown, the automatic mechanism was a joint development of Doxa, Eberhard, Favre-Leuba, Girard-Perregaux, and Zodiac. The watch comes fitted on its original Zodiac 24mm chunky brushed stainless steel bracelet with a signed folding clasp.
