1960s Zodiac Hermetic Aerospace Jet 24Hr (Ref. 758)

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 that came 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 that colorful Zodiac charm. This Hermetic Aerospace Jet is one such piece, and it seems to be getting harder and harder to find.
