We’ve discussed the connection between watches and knives at length in these pages, and I think at this point it’s pretty clear why the overlap between knife and EDC enthusiasts and watch collectors is so strong. There’s a clear shared interest in well made things between both communities, and a sense that the tools you carry with you and wear matter in a way that’s both practical and sentimental. Given all that, it’s perhaps a little surprising that we don’t see more releases like this collaboration between Zodiac and GiantMouse Knives, which seeks to make that connection explicit rather than simply implied.
The GiantMouse x Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Watch and Dive Knife set consists of, well, a Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Pro Diver and a dive knife created by GiantMouse for this specific release. The origin of the collaboration rests with GiantMouse founder Jim Worth, who connected with the Zodiac team at a Windup Watch Fair event, where the seeds of a collaborative project were planted. If you’ve had a chance to talk to Jim at a Windup event or elsewhere, you know that he’s not just playing a watch guy at our shows – he’s a true enthusiast. He’s particularly interested in vintage dive and sports watches, and a vintage Zodiac in a similar color way provided the inspiration for this release.
We’ll start with the watch. The Super Sea Wolf Pro Diver is a 42mm stainless steel diver with 300 meters of water resistance, and this edition features a black dial, orange accents, and a light blue dive bezel. It runs on an STP 1-21 caliber that has been COSC certified. It’s a colorful, summery combination that feels very much in the Zodiac wheelhouse, which in recent years has meant an “anything goes” attitude toward bright colors. It’s also fairly generic by Zodiac standards. A solid diver in a niche color way that’s part of a catalog of watches with a similar expression.
That said, the knife it’s paired with does a remarkable job of matching the style of the watch, and it’s clear that Zodiac and GiantMouse put considerable effort into making sure the two pieces were complementary. The handle is black anodized aluminum with an orange G10 inlay, mimicking the tones found in the dial. The use of aluminum is meant to keep the weight down, and the knife comes in at just 4.4oz. The steel used for the blade is N360 Satin Steel (chosen for its corrosion resistance properties), and it measures 3.8 inches in length, with the handle coming in at 4.4 inches.
According to Zodiac and GiantMouse, the knife was tested thoroughly in real diving conditions, and aspects of the design were specifically chosen to suit the needs of divers. For example, the handle has a liquid pass through that allows the owner of the knife to quickly clean it of salt water with a simple rinse. The knife also features an integrated line cutter and partial serrations that are meant to make cutting through tangled nylon straightforward.
The watch and knife will only be sold as a set, and the retail price sits at $2,295. They will be available to purchase beginning February 23 at 12:00 PM EST. Zodiac x GiantMouse
