Express Review:  Zodiac Sea-Chron Automatic Chronograph  

# ZO3605

Fantastic overall presentation in a Swiss Made automatic chronograph.  Great size (42mm x 20mm lugs x 17mm thick) with lots of personality and strong auto movement.

Note:  the deep blue dial is hard to photograph, it looks black in many photos

Plus:  Superb and balanced deep blue sandwich dial.  Legible with solid white minute hand.  Sharp looking black ceramic bezel.  SW510B movement offers reliability and great power reserve (60+ hours).  Quick release bracelet.  Nicely weighted.

Minus:  Dreaded pin/collar system on links.  Butterfly clasp is nice but a fold-over deployant would be better.  Crown could be a tad larger.  Somewhat hard to find.

Sum:  Zodiac knocked it out of the park with this one.  Excellent value for a nearly perfect diver chronograph.  Hits all the right notes and does so with a no-nonsense style.  If you find one, buy it.
