Zodiac Corsair, Ref. 732-822, Red Marble Dial Variant, circa 1970

By the 1970s, Zodiac had fully embraced its design forward ethos, aiming to blend functionality with experimental case architecture and bold dial treatments. The Corsair series exemplifies that spirit and this faux marble-enamel dial variant, reference 723.822, pushes it even further.

Featuring a richly faux marbled red enamel dial with applied Roman numerals and a date window at 3, this particular Corsair stands out not just for its condition, but for its character. With a beautiful gold tone six sided case one can expect a comfortable wear with angular presence that doesn't leave you feeling bulky. 

At its heart beats the reliable Zodiac Caliber 72B, a 17-jewel automatic movement with hacking seconds and a push-in crown quickset date function, similar to those in the beloved Sea Wolf. A true work horse movement that is both reliable, and also recently serviced. A form fitting package of what is otherwise pure 70's design language. For the collector who likes their watches loud, proud, and impossible to replicate.
