Zodiac’s 2024 regular-production Super Sea Wolf Pro-Diver brought back a full-lume dial in pistachio green, following a 200-piece RedBar collaboration. Its dial glows blue while the hands, markers and bezel markings glow green. The reported launch price was US$2,295 in May 2024; that is historical pricing, not a current quote.
What changed with the regular-production full-lume model?
In May 2024, Jorg Weppelink reported in Fratello Watches that Zodiac was following its RedBar collaboration with a regular-production Super Sea Wolf Pro-Diver featuring a full-lume dial. The look draws on 1980s night-diver watches. Zodiac continues to list Pro-Diver as a collection category, but that alone does not confirm that this particular full-lume variant is currently in stock.
The regular-production watch should not be confused with the RedBar edition. Windup Watch Shop identifies the collaboration as reference ZO3559, limited to 200 pieces. Its dial has a red dot between the four and five o’clock markers, a nod to Zodiac’s 1990s Point series. The regular-production model omits that RedBar-specific detail, and Fratello’s report does not give it a reference number.
| Detail | Regular-production full-lume model | RedBar limited edition |
|---|---|---|
| Production | Reported as regular production by Fratello in May 2024; current availability is not established. | 200 pieces, according to Windup Watch Shop; its product page says it is no longer available. |
| Reference | Not stated in Fratello’s report. | ZO3559, according to Windup. |
| Dial distinction | Pistachio-green full-lume dial without the RedBar red dot. | Full-lume dial with a red dot between the four and five o’clock markers. |
| Strap or bracelet | Seven-row stainless-steel bracelet, according to Fratello. | Steel bracelet plus a black-and-red rPET Velcro strap, according to Windup. |
| Reported lug-to-lug | 49.8 mm, according to Fratello. | 49.5 mm, according to Windup. |
How does the full-lume dial glow?
The pistachio-green dial is coated with Super-LumiNova and is reported to glow blue. White Super-LumiNova on the hands, hour markers and ceramic-bezel markings glows green. Black outlines help separate those elements, while small red accents add contrast. The two-color effect distinguishes the dial from the surrounding markers and bezel rather than making the entire watch glow in one uniform color.
What are the reported specifications?
The figures below are specifications reported by Fratello for the regular-production model; they were not independently measured for this article.
| Component | Reported specification |
|---|---|
| Case | Stainless steel; 42 mm diameter, 49.8 mm lug-to-lug and 13 mm thick. |
| Lug width | 20 mm. |
| Crystal | Sapphire. |
| Bezel | Black bezel with ceramic insert. |
| Caseback | Screw-in stainless steel. |
| Water resistance | 300 m. |

| Bracelet | Seven-row stainless steel, 20 mm, with a spring-loaded butterfly clasp, push-button release and quick release. |
Fratello reports that the watch received ISO 6425 certification. Zodiac’s official site describes the Pro-Diver collection more generally as “Professionally rated and ISO certified,” but does not name the standard in that wording. The 42 mm case and 49.8 mm lug-to-lug measurement indicate a substantial footprint; the reported 13 mm thickness is a separate fit consideration for anyone comparing diver watches.

What did it cost, and can you buy it now?
Fratello listed a price of US$2,295 in its May 27, 2024 coverage. That is the reported launch-era price, not a verified current price. Windup’s statement that the RedBar edition is no longer available applies only to that limited model, not to the regular-production full-lume watch. Current inventory, pricing and a retailer listing for the regular model are not established by the cited sources; check with a retailer and confirm the reference and dial before buying.
