Zodiac’s latest move in its growth plan is to team up with Watches.com to create a one-of-a-kind Super Sea Wolf Meteorite watch. This limited edition watch is Zodiac’s first exploration into the elemental nature of time and space with a material that was forged across the universe.
The meteorite used on the dial was crafted from a genuine Muonionalusta Meteorite that spent billions of years traveling through the universe until chance pulled it into Earth’s orbit and it landed in the Norrbotten region of Sweden approximately 800,000 years ago.
When cut, the metal from the meteorite reveals one-of-a-kind patterns of iron and nickel that look distinctly extraterrestrial and uniquely modern.

Bulova’s contribution to the Space Race began much earlier than 1971.
Bulova has a rich and storied history with NASA as part of 46 space missions and a critical asset to the US space program from the 1950s to the 1970s.
The American company was first contacted by NASA in the 1950s because of its proven expertise in engineering and timekeeping and worked on missions for the next three decades.
Over the years, NASA utilized Bulova’s innovative Accutron tuning fork movement, allowing for watches, instrumental panel clocks and timekeeping mechanisms.
Crafted specifically for astronomical conditions — allowing it to perform flawlessly under extreme pressures, changing atmospheric conditions, fluctuating temperatures and gravitational shifts — the Lunar Pilot watch was used in space to track time so that no one ran out of oxygen, water or battery power in the portable life-support-system backpack.
It was also used to back up the on-board timers for the critical reentry into the Earth’s atmosphere.
Bulova’s 50th Anniversary Lunar Pilot Limited Edition watch is a modern replica of the original timepiece that was worn on the moon by Commander Scott, updated with a special 45mm titanium grade-5 case and gold-tone accents and pushers.
It uses a proprietary and highly accurate quartz movement operating at a frequency of 262 kHz.
It uses the original Bulova logo and dial layout with blue sapphire crystal with AR coating and comes on a supple grey leather NATO strap.
