Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Pro-Diver ZO3560 Men’s 42mm Automatic Dive Watch – Spearmint Green Dial, Stainless Steel Bracelet

Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Pro-Diver ZO3560: Spearmint Green Swiss Automatic Diver

The Zodiac ZO3560 is the standard-production counterpart to the limited ZO3559, and it carries the same 42 mm stainless steel case in the Super Sea Wolf Pro-Diver family. Its defining feature is a spearmint green dial, set inside a black ceramic bezel and paired with a seven-link steel bracelet. A Swiss automatic STP 1-21 movement drives the hands, and the rating of 300 metres puts it firmly in serious diver territory. It is a straightforward tool watch with one confident colour choice.

Where many modern divers stay with black, navy or grey, Zodiac has made the dial a pale minty green with a heavy coat of lume. The result is a watch that looks light and bright on the wrist but still reads as a working instrument, because the markers, hands and bezel are all laid out with function first.

Case and Wrist Presence

The round stainless steel case is 42 mm in diameter and about 13 mm thick. That thickness is typical for a rated automatic diver and gives the watch a solid, planted feel without making it hard to wear under a sleeve. A screw-down crown protects the movement from water, and the bezel above it is a unidirectional rotating piece with a black ceramic insert, a scale marked to 60 minutes and a knurled edge that is easy to grip with wet fingers. Sapphire crystal covers the dial, so the glass should stay clear through years of daily knocks.

• 42 mm by roughly 13 mm stainless steel case
• Unidirectional bezel with a black ceramic insert and 60-minute scale
• Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal
• Screw-down crown for sealed water resistance

Dial Layout and Lume

The dial is a spearmint green plate, described by one maker’s retailer as an all-lume dial that gives off vibrant green and blue luminescence in the dark. Applied indexes and the hands are filled with Super-LumiNova, so the entire face can be read after dark. The look in daylight is calm and soft, and the black bezel above it frames the green neatly.

There is no date aperture and there are no sub-dials. The watch shows hours, minutes and a central seconds hand, which keeps the face clean and the proportions balanced. That simplicity is also practical: the hands never cross a window or a sub-dial, so the time is always unambiguous.

• Spearmint green dial with heavy luminous treatment
• Super-LumiNova on the dial, hands and indexes
• Three-hand layout with a central seconds hand

Movement

The ZO3560 uses a Swiss-made STP 1-21 automatic movement. Automatic means the watch winds itself from the natural movement of your wrist, with no battery and no daily winding. Listings describe the movement as chronometer certified and mention a silicon hairspring, a modern part that resists magnetism and temperature change better than a traditional steel one. The seconds hand sweeps around the dial in a smooth motion instead of ticking once a second. If the watch has been off the wrist for a while, give the crown a few turns and set the time, and it will run again.

Bracelet and Fit

The bracelet is stainless steel in a seven-link jubilee-style layout, with a 20 mm width at the lugs and a butterfly deployant clasp that opens from the middle and folds flat. Small links make a bracelet drape well around the wrist, and the clasp means you do not have to stretch the bracelet to put the watch on. A 20 mm lug width also means you can fit other straps of your own, such as a rubber or textile strap, if you want a different feel.

Water Resistance in Practice

Most listings give this reference a rating of 300 metres, or 30 ATM, and describe it as suitable for professional diving, although one retailer lists 200 metres. In real use, either number covers swimming, snorkelling, surfing and recreational diving. The one rule is to check that the crown is fully screwed down before the watch gets wet, and to avoid operating it underwater. Rinsing the watch in fresh water after the sea keeps the bracelet and bezel moving smoothly.

The Super Sea Wolf Line

Zodiac is a Swiss brand founded in 1882. Its Sea Wolf, launched in 1953, is regarded as one of the first purpose-built dive watches, and the Super Sea Wolf name carries that idea into modern case sizes and Swiss movements. The Pro-Diver sits at the more technical end of that range, with its higher water resistance and ceramic bezel.

Who This Watch Suits

• Swimmers, snorkellers and recreational divers who want a watch rated well beyond their needs
• Owners who want a dive watch that does not look like every other black dial
• People who prefer a clean time-only display without a date window
• Anyone who likes an automatic movement and a steel bracelet for daily wear

Care and Maintenance

Wipe the bracelet and case with a soft damp cloth and rinse with fresh water after the sea or a chlorinated pool. Keep the crown screwed down whenever the watch is near water. Have the watch serviced by a qualified watchmaker every few years, and ask for the gaskets to be tested so that the water resistance is kept. Keep it away from strong magnets, and if you are not wearing it daily, you may want to reset the time before wearing it again.
