We at Hodinkee know you’re all on the edge of your seats, waiting to see what else Basel World 2009 will give us, but we thought we’d take a moment to go back to our roots and discuss a vintage watch in this current atmosphere of “newer and replica Vacheron Constantin watches better”.We also know that while a majority of the watches we profile are well over $1,000, many of our followers are looking for a vintage piece that won’t cost them an arm and a leg.And if we can tie that in with a brand that has a back-story, we’re talking triple-threat.So with that being said, we bring to you the Zodiac Triple Date with Moonphaseing to us from the 1950’s, this vintage Zodiac is a veritable plethora of horological instruments.
Featuring gold markers for the hours, Day and Month apertures just below 12 o’clock, an inner ring for the date on the dial, and a Moonphase aperture just above the 6 o’clock position, this watch carries with it a sense of an era long past, but not replica Patek Philippe watches forgotten.The movement is an automatic, caliber 74, with 17 jewels, and the seller claims it to be running perfectly, with all pushers and indicators functioning properly.Followers of Hodinkee will remember the history of the Zodiac brand, specifically the SeaWolf, which gained notoriety as the inspiration for a serial killer.
