Zodiac
1990s Zodiac Red Dot Dive Watch (Ref. 113.13.30) W/ Box
Zodiac made several sports models in the 50s-60s and were direct competitors to Rolex, Blancpain, and Tudor but are often looked over as they don't receive the same clout as the aforementioned companies. Keeping this in mind, Zodiac is one of the more undervalued Swiss timepiece companies to come from this "golden era" of sports watches. From then, Zodiac went on to produce countless other quality sport and dress models that to this day remain at an affordable price point but still carry the colorful Zodiac charm.
The Zodiac ref. 113.13.30 is an awesome and versatile watch, weighing in at a modest 36mm the "Red Dot" diver would make for a functional and understated piece for a man or a perfect oversized/sporty option for a lady.
