Great idea for a thread! Here is my 5 year old son's "lizard watch" along with a 1966 Omega Seamaster DeVille that was purchased by his great-grandfather in Bern, Switzerland and given to his grandfather for graduation, then given to me on my wedding day and one day, it will be his.

Two of my daughters wearing the watches they've "borrowed." Still waiting to get them back. I'm wearing the blue 16613.

The red watch was a gift from my dad when I was around 4 or 5 and was a major contributor to me becoming a WIS. I remember strapping it on and feeling about 20 feet tall (despite the fact I had no idea how to tell the time). When my son started to show interest in watches, I gave it to him.

Great pic. Some more info would be great. Watches passed on. Or did they get as gift to commemorate a special occasion? Or did they purchase for themselves... so many questions. Pic is awesome.

Thanks!

Zodiac has been making watches since 1882 (per the web) this model was made in the late 80’s early 90’s. At that time the watches were Swiss made and on par with Tag Heuer. This model had a short run but has the same dimensions as the Rolex GMT, but houses a quartz movement.

They are rather rare, and there is also a two tone model (rootbeerish).
