Take note, watch lovers: <\/strong>The clock is ticking on what\u2019s likely one of the best sales of the year. <\/p>\n

Swiss brand Zodiac \u2014 which has long built some of the industry\u2019s most sought-after and iconic watches \u2014\u00a0is currently selling out its entire online inventory at steep discounts. The sale has been ongoing for weeks, but recently reached a new benchmark by offering 50% off everything that\u2019s left.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s great news for those anxious to get their hands on a sweet deal. On the other hand, it\u2019s potentially concerning for those worried about the future of this historic brand. <\/p>\n

With a history dating to 1882, Zodiac was integral to some of watchmaking\u2019s most important moments. Its popular Sea Wolf line debuted in 1953 as one of the world\u2019s first dive watches<\/a>. (Many models within the colorful Sea Wolf line are still available in the online sale.)<\/p>\n

Zodiac didn\u2019t immediately respond to GearJunkie requests for comment on Wednesday about the status of the brand. However, Zodiac\u2019s parent company, Fossil, declared bankruptcy in October. Fossil hopes to restructure its finances and keep the doors open for several watch brands, including Skagen, Relic, Zodiac, and others, The Street<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, it looks like Zodiac loyalists (or those looking to own one of its watches for the first time) have a golden opportunity to snag one at bottom-shelf prices. <\/p>\n

Zodiac Super Sea Wolf<\/p>\n

Zodiac\u2019s sale includes two models reviewed by GearJunkie in the last few years. When AllGear Editorial Director Sean McCoy tested out a Super Sea Wolf Compression<\/a> in 2023, he praised its handsome aesthetic, functional dive features, and a price tag that\u2019s far lower than competitors like Rolex, Omega, Seiko, or Tudor. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Zodiac Super Sea Wolf is a joy to wear. It earns compliments thanks to its handsome design and colors,\u201d McCoy wrote. \u201cThe Zodiac stands out with a rich history and unique appearance that will turn heads.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well, now that same watch costs half the price. Nearly 20 models of the Super Sea Wolf \u2014\u00a0including the orange-and-blue model<\/a> that turned heads during McCoy\u2019s testing \u2014 are still available in the Zodiac sale, all of them for 50% off the retail price. <\/p>\n

In another review, McCoy also praised the Super Sea Wolf GMT<\/a> for its dazzling appearance. The pink-and-white model<\/a> that he said \u201ccatches light from any angle\u201d is also on sale.<\/p>\n

Other Super Sea Wolf models include the Super Sea Wolf Compression Diver Black Stainless Steel Watch<\/a>. This pricier model in the lineup ($2,300 before taking 50% off) has a green malachite semi-gloss dial and black DLC-plated stainless steel case and bracelet.<\/p>\n

Other Models<\/p>\n

There are only a small handful of other Zodiac watches still available in the online sale, apart from the Super Sea Wolf models. The remaining watches, however, include both the cheapest and most expensive ones still for sale. <\/p>\n

First off, there\u2019s the Dress Olympos Automatic Leather Watch<\/a>, which GearJunkie has called out as one of the best field watches<\/a>. This handsome timepiece with a green dial and black leather strap costs just $500 after the half-off discount. <\/p>\n

Then there are the two Sea-Chron models<\/a>, which reach the upper limit of Zodiac prices, hovering around $3,000 (before taking off 50%). These burly dive watches have 62-hour power reserves, water resistance to 200 m, and a stainless steel bracelet.<\/p>\n

Brick-and-Mortar Sales<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t see the Zodiac model you were hoping for on the brand website? Well, you still might be able to find it at rock-bottom prices. <\/p>\n

Several retailers have also begun selling Zodiac watches at massive discounts. Many ecstatic buyers have taken to Reddit<\/a> to spread the word about Zodiac deals they found at T.J. Maxx and Ross.<\/p>\n

These sought-after sales began sometime in November, just a few weeks after Fossil announced its bankruptcy filing in October 2025. Given Zodiac\u2019s long history, it\u2019s unlikely the brand will have to close its doors permanently. Even if it did, that would only make these discounted watches more valuable in the long term.
