Victoria Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Nothing about the movement, but here is some background: I always thought Zodiac watches were a slightly better version of Nixon watches (aimed to the skater, snowboarding crowd), but apparently they have some vintage ones. I doubt there are vintage Nixons yet. http://www.vintagezodiacs.com/ http://www.vintagezodiacs.com/Articles/News.htm Excerpt (Fossil own them): " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tag Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 This is the ASTROGRAPHIC Mystery Dial. A great looking watch... but I like the 2000 version better: The modern version features the ETA 2824 and sells at about $500. Don't know about the movement of the original... but yours should sell at $150 if in good shape. cheers tag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bark3rd Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Something about the name "Zodiac" gives me the creeps....not sure why. Cool "Eruption" solo dude! Mix the Phaser down a bit and review the tablature and you'll have it perfect. (You did learn that from tablature right?) I enjoy "repping" Alex Lifeson stuff from tabs, good ones will tell you all the right effects to mix in too. Sorry for the guitar hijack!

gplracer Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 My dad has a gold plated version of this watch with a square case from the '70s. When I was growing up I was always fascinated by the watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naveedgt Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 It has SST on the dial so i assume its a high beat movement, 36,000 bph. Theres one on ebay for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
