[Zodiac SSW PX edition]

This is the 2019 Hodinkee collab re-issue of a Sea Wolf that was originally available at military exchanges during the Vietnam War. I was in the service at the time and had to have one. The build quality is truthfully average, and the accuracy of its STP movement leaves something to be desired. I’ve worn it swimming many times and it held up great. The bracelet it came on was very nice, featuring one of the best-designed clasps I’ve ever experienced. Interestingly, the lume pip has a crescent shaped discoloration that bothered me when I first noticed it, until I discovered that it matched the one used for Hodinkee’s site photos. Therefore I got over the look of the imperfection and adopted a quiet pride for having the watch they chose to model for the release. (Pictured on Artem sailcloth)
