FOR SALE IS A STELLAR AND EXTREMELY RARE ZODIAC ASTRODIGIT ON ORIGINAL BRICK BRACELET. RUNNING ON A HI BEAT 36K MOVEMENT. JUST SERVICED. SIGNED 5X
-
CASE: CHUNKY ALL STEEL MONOLOTHIC BRICK SHAPED CASE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS SUCKER HAS SOME SEROUS HEFT TO IT. MEASURING 36mm ACROSS NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED CROWN AND 42mm LUG TO LUG, IT'S THE THICKNESS AT 13mm WHICH REALLY GIVES THIS SOME WRIST PRESENCE. THE 24mm LUG SPACING ALSO MAKES THIS WEAR LIKE A BEAST.
-
DIAL: THIS SPACE AGE FREAK IS A TOTAL BLAST TO LOOK AT. THERE'S QUITE A BIT GOING ON WITH THIS DISPLAY. THE CRYSTAL IS PAINTED WHITE AND THERE ARE WHITE DISCS BENEATH THAT GIVE A DIGITAL READOUT. IN CASE THAT WAS TOO STRAIGHTFORWARD, THE OUTER TRACK IN BLUE HOUSES THE MYSTERY HANDS WHICH FLOAT SUSPENDED ON CLEAR DISCS TO DISPLAY THE HOURS AND MINUTES. AND, AS IS ZODIAC'S TRADEMARK ON THESE ASTROS, YOU HAVE THE SUSPENDED RED FLOATING SECONDS DOT. IF YOU LOOK CLOSE ENOUGH, YOU'LL SEE THAT THE DATE WINDOW IS DISPLAYED AT 12. THERE'S A LOT TO TAKE IN WITH THIS SUCKER, BUT IT'S A COMPLETE PARTY ON THE WRIST.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS GUY RUNS ON A SWISS 17 JEWEL ZODIAC 88D HI BEAT TICKING AWAY AT 36,000 BPH. I JUST HAD THIS ONE FULLY SERVICED, AND IT'S RUNNING TIP-TOP. THERE'S A LOT OF FEATURES ON THIS ONE. FROM THE HI-BEAT SWEEP, TO THE HACKING SECONDS, AND THEN YOU HAVE THE PUSH-BUTTON QUICKSET DATE WHICH IS A NIFTY FUNCTION.
- WATCH IS MOUNTED ON ITS ORIGINAL HIGHLY TAPERED 24mm ZODIAC SIGNED BRICK BRACELET. THIS LOOKS TO HAVE ALL ITS ORIGINAL LINKS AND SHOULD BE ABLE TO ACCOMDATE ANY WRIST SIZE. UP TO AN 8" WRIST. LIKE ITS STABLEMATE THE ASTROGRAPHIC, THE ASTRODIGIT WAS ONE OF THE LEGENDARY TIMEPIECES OF THE EARLY 70s. HOWEVER, UNLIKE THE ASTROGRAPHIC WHICH WERE MADE IN MUCH HIGHER NUMBERS, THE ASTRODIGIT IS VERY HARD TO FIND. THIS PARTICULAR VARIANT IS VERY RARE. IF YOU WANT TO GET YOUR HANDS ON ONE OF THE WEIRDEST WATCHES TO EMERGE FROM THE 70s, LOOK NO FURTHER. THIS IS THE EQUIVALENT OF WEARING A LEISURE SUIT ON THE WRIST. WHILE HAVING A TOTAL SPACE-AGE VIBE, THIS ONE IS AS RETRO AS THEY COME.
