Is Zodiac a luxury watch brand?

1 Answer
Is Zodiac a luxury watch brand?
Yes, Zodiac is a luxury watch brand. While the company is mostly known for its dive watches sold at an affordable price point, Zodiac has a rich history.

It was founded by second-generation watchmaker Ariste Calame in Switzerland in 1882. Collectors find appeal in the unique design sensibility associated with Zodiac watches, with watch lovers frequently citing the brand’s colorful dials and alluring straps of Italian leather or crocodile hide.

Zodiac timepieces typically feature STP mechanical movements, which it produces at its own manufacture in Switzerland. Some of the luxury maker's most popular watches include the Sea Wolf, the Super Sea Wolf, the Olympus, the Aerospace GMT and the Grand Marine.

Zodiac was purchased by the Texas-based Fossil Group in 2001.
