The Zodiac Olympos! Perfectly Imperfect

I've been obsessed with this one since I first saw it. The Zodiac Olympos. It's a blast from the past that's hard to describe. Originally produced in the 1960s, it was a funky watch that felt right at home with its retro sci-fi design and quadrant dial. Yet ultimately it was a watch that wouldn't survive the decade.

However, when Fossil was resurrecting the Zodiac brand they went looking for inspiration in their back catalog. And Inspiration they found with this 37mm gem. I debated on which one I should get until I finally picked up this steely blue version.

A few different places to look for this one, but one I'd recommend is Mark over at Long Island Watch.
