Inspired by the retro colors Zodiac is best known for and the functionality users want for their summer adventures, this Compression Diver is crafted from a high-polish, hardened ceramic with a steel core for ultimate performance and longevity.
First introduced to the watchmaking scene in the 1980s, ceramic is scratch-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and fade-resistant. The engineering process uses inorganic, non-metallic powders, most commonly developed for aerospace and other high-tech industries, that are sintered at high temperatures to create the attractive, polished, solid material seen on the Compression Diver case. The material formed from this process is lightweight, easy to wear, and hypoallergenic.
The newly released colorways feature radiant sunburst dials with uni-directional rotating bezels, striking hands and markers with Super-LumiNova for unparalleled visibility, and are complemented by FKM rubber straps. The Compression Diver holds a Swiss-made STP 1-21 automatic movement.

About Zodiac:
For 140 years, Zodiac has dedicated itself to the precision and craftsmanship associated with Swiss timekeeping. In that time, we’ve challenged boundaries, pushed the limits of design, and innovated to create highly technical and dynamic timepieces, all while staying true to our brand's rich heritage.
Designed and made in Biel-Bienne, the heart of Swiss international watchmaking, Zodiac’s team of expert watchmakers are - and always have been - dedicated to crafting high-quality, bold, and functional watches for everyday people of action. The lasting power of the Zodiac watch is only strengthened by its timeless design that expertly balances unique style and bold details - a balance that makes any Zodiac watch equally well suited for a backyard bbq or a black tie event.
With a rich heritage to draw from, Zodiac designs each timepiece based on our iconic vintage models, maintaining the same sense of scale to keep the finished product as historically accurate as possible. Despite then adding contemporary updates and improved functionality, we always ensure the spirit of those original watches is alive and well in every new model. So much so, that, if you held a vintage and modern model side-by-side, you would instantly see, and feel, the extension from one to the other.
