Zodiac Marine Life Professional 200m Chronograph Watch Appraisal

Zodiac Marine Life Professional 200M Chronograph Watch

This is a vintage Zodiac Marine Life Professional chronograph wristwatch, likely dating from the 1990s. The watch features a robust stainless steel construction with a distinctive 'Y-link' or 'shark tooth' style integrated bracelet. The white dial is oriented horizontally with three sub-dials at the 2, 6, and 10 o'clock positions, a date window at 4 o'clock, and the Zodiac logo prominent at 12 o'clock. Text on the dial includes 'Marine Life', 'Professional', and '200 M', indicating water resistance. It is equipped with a rotating diver's bezel marked with a 60-minute scale and a tachymeter scale on the inner flange. The watch utilizes a quartz movement, controlled by two chronograph pushers flanking a screw-down crown. In terms of condition, the item shows significant signs of wear consistent with age and frequent use. There are numerous fine scratches and scuffs across the steel bezel, case, and bracelet. The crystal appears to have minor surface marks. The overall patina suggests an unpolished, original state. The craftsmanship is typical of the pre-Fossil era Zodiac, emphasizing utility and a sporty aesthetic through heavy brushed steel finishes and complex dial complications.
