Zero Gravity: Zodiac Releases 50th-Anniversary Edition of the Astrographic

One such watch is the Zodiac Astrographic, a timepiece that riffed on the space-age aesthetic when it was released in 1969 by highlighting a "Mystery dial" as its distinguishing feature Mystery dials have long had a place in the watch industry; in fact, brands like Longines and Cartier saw value in these avant-garde displays decades before the Astrographic hit the market When the first models were released, Zodiac marketed them under taglines such as "The most exciting watch you can wear" and "Everything ordinary about watches becomes extraordinary in the Astrographic,".

For 2019, Zodiac has approached the watch's anniversary with care The two limited-edition watches that are now available feature an improved curved watch face and floating disks in lieu of the traditional dial-hands Inside the watch is the automatic STP 3-13 movement that is made by Fossil, Zodiac's parent company.

Limited to 182 pieces in each colorway, the new Zodiac Astrographic is priced at $1,295 and is availabe now via Zodiac online and at specific retailers. . Source
