The early examples featured a glossy black dial with dauphine hands while the later ones had a matte dial with a new style shovel handset like the example we have here. Equally prized are the colorful acrylic (often Bakelite-style) bezels, whose vibrant blues, greys, and oranges have become visual signatures of vintage Zodiac divers. Honest examples displaying untouched patina are increasingly difficult to find, making originality a defining factor in today's market. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2979\" data-start=\"2586\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe present watch is among the rarest known executions of the Sea Wolf reference 722-946. Produced toward the end of the reference's production, it combines a matte black dial with the later shovel handset and a striking orange Bakelite bezel—an extraordinarily elusive configuration that is almost unseen. The survival of this combination today places it among the most coveted variants of the reference, appealing to collectors who appreciate the transitional details found only in the final chapter of the Sea Wolf's early evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"5920\" data-start=\"5910\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Zodiac\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"5929\" data-start=\"5926\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"5939\" data-start=\"5929\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Seawolf\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"5961\" data-start=\"5958\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"5985\" data-start=\"5961\"\u003eYear of Manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1970s\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"6021\" data-start=\"6018\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"6034\" data-start=\"6021\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"6070\" data-start=\"6067\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"6085\" data-start=\"6070\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 35mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"6100\" data-start=\"6097\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"6121\" data-start=\"6100\"\u003eReference Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 722-946\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"6129\" data-start=\"6126\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"6142\" data-start=\"6129\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Automatic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"6156\" data-start=\"6153\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"6171\" data-start=\"6156\"\u003eStrap Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 18mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"6179\" data-start=\"6176\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"6192\" data-start=\"6179\"\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Leather aftermarket strap.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"6241\" data-start=\"6238\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"6256\" data-start=\"6241\"\u003eBox\/Papers:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e N\/A\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eComments: Watch keeping time correctly, matching lume, original crown.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"rvmusa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54221455982902,"sku":null,"price":6000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/8628\/1014\/files\/01_ZODIAC_SeawolfSkinDiver_01-B.png?v=1784309410","url":"https:\/\/relojesvintagemexico.com\/products\/zodiac-seawolf-skin-diver-ref","provider":"rvmusa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
