After impatiently waiting all day, it finally arrived just before 6pm (I hate being at the end of the mail route). I gotta say, I'm pretty pleased. Bracelet has been sized, time has been set...now let's see how it performs. I couldn't wait, I had to post some quick & dirty pics.  Interesting box, it actually opens sideways.   Box and all the bits, even a full size bracelet.   |

I know very little of these divers or much about the brand but love it.
I notice the crown protector looks like the styling of a vintage brevet case, like on the Heuer 1000.
How old is the watch? I am sooo disappointed I sold my victorinox with a valjoux.
I think movement alone it's a solid component to any collection.
Then to add an awesome brand and styling.
Well done.

The believe you are correct, I think this case is the same as the standard Heuer, and very comfortable. I've got a couple of the Red Dot divers, Same case as the Heuer Jumbo divers. This one dates back to the early/mid 90's, sure to be a classic IMO.   |

Looks to be in great condition! Congrats on that one!
I am not too familiar with Zodiac with the exception of the Astrographic which I hope to own one day - 
We all know what the red dot is on the Astrographic but what's the significance of the that 'red dot' on the diver? Any history to it? |

I'm confused. Tim, did you turn 50 in 2016 or recently? Either way, Happy (belated) Birthday!
