This is a description of the Zodiac "Sea Wolf" Ref.722-916 diver's automatic model with a black dial, manufactured in the late 1960s to 1970s. It features a rare black and orange two-tone color dial with a pop design and color combination, combining white and orange hour and minute hands, which is different from the common design found in the Sea Wolf with wedge-shaped indexes and dolphin hands. It showcases the trends of that era.This model was highly regarded as a diver's watch at the time and is still popular among collectors today. It is also attractive for its practical features that were unique to later models, such as a snap-back waterproof case with a 200m water resistance function, a calendar quick-change mechanism (where the hands move back and forth between 8 pm and midnight) and a second-hand regulation device, all of which contribute to its high practicality.The plating on the bezel has peeled off to reveal the underlying surface, but it matches the two-tone black and orange color perfectly.
