The Astrographic is famous for its “mystery dial” display, which uses transparent rotating discs rather than traditional visible watch hands. The hour and minute indicators appear to float around the dial, while the distinctive red dot serves as the seconds indicator. The watch also features a date window at the 12 o\'clock position.
This example has an attractive silver sunburst dial with black outer chapter ring, gold-tone cushion/TV-style case, and prominent Zodiac crosshair logo in the center.
The watch has been opened and the movement is confirmed as a genuine Zodiac Caliber 88D automatic movement, marked:
