Show us your Zodiacs

BV, the Oceanaire that I have is model no. Z08002. The Oceanaire's that you see on the Zodiac Web site are Z085XX and Z0900X models. The Z0805 models are quartz, but the newest, the Z0900Xs (which to me look too much like a Fossil), are autos, I assume using the same CL-888 movements.The reason I asked about the movement is that all the Oceanaires and several of the other models were all listed as having quartz movements. But all you guy's watches are autos, so do you guys have older models, or does Zodiac make small numbers of autos in those designs, or the website is old?
I like the look and the price point. But I'm missing information. Where does one go to get a auto Oceanaire?
The ones that Auto, Banned and I have are the Z0800X models, which are no longer produced. I bought the last one here in my town, and I had zero luck finding any on the Web, even the bay. I think the only way you are going to find the models that we have is by checking the bay or the used market.
I hope that helps.
BV there are a few at a AD here in Indy.
You could try the Fossil outlet store if one is near you.

Interesting dial on that desert master!

Thanks boscoe. It is a view of the world's Northern Hemisphere with North America at the three o'clock and Europe at the nine o'clock.
So are we left to speculate that Fossil's cost cutting has made these new Oceanaires with quartz hearts?
Too bad. I like the look of the Oceanaire, but I'm just not interested in a quartz version. I've been learning to work on ETAs and I think I could handle at 2824 (or maybe a close clone).

No, not the newest Oceanaires. They are automatic, but they don't look ANYTHING like the model you inquired of. The quartz Oceanaires came in BETWEEN the diver style auto and the Fossil looking auto.
I just went to the site and looked. Those things are an abomination! You can tell Fossil is running things over there. They trick you with the main photo of the original, and then BAM!BV, the Oceanaire that I have is model no. Z08002. The Oceanaire's that you see on the Zodiac Web site are Z085XX and Z0900X models.

It stinks, doesn't it!I just went to the site and looked. Those things are an abomination! You can tell Fossil is running things over there. They trick you with the main photo of the original, and then BAM!
Shame on them for not keeping an eye on the Web site!:blushing:
Thanks banned, You know the watch is on the smaller side..You can't read the date out of the date window....but there is something about that curved crystal and thick case that I really like about this thing...I will never sell this one.Nice watch MGIRAZ! Don't see many of those around. I believe that movement is pretty rare too!
