Among the panoply of legendary dive watches, Zodiac’s Super Sea Wolf doesn’t always get the respect it deserves. Born in the ’60s and based on the already-iconic Sea Wolf, the dive watch came with innovative features like a locking bezel, an integrated screw-down crown-and-stem system, and a then-unmatched 750m of water resistance.
Unfortunately, the quartz crisis was rough on Zodiac, but they came out the other side thanks to Fossil. About a decade ago, they decided to revive the Super Sea Wolf, and we’ve been gifted with unique, often colorful entries in the modern-day diver catalog.
Recently teaming up with Danish knifemaker GiantMouse, Zodiac has unveiled a watch-knife Pro Diver set that feels just as purpose-built as their early underwater achievements.
An Unlikely Origin Story
The collaboration traces back to GiantMouse co-founder Jim Wirth crossing paths with the Zodiac team at a Windup Watch Fair. If you’ve spent any time around Jim, you know he’s not just a knife guy playing dress-up at a watch show. He’s a true collector, and a vintage Zodiac diver in a colorway strikingly similar to this one is reportedly what lit the spark.
Founded in 2015 by Danish designers Jens Anso and Jesper Voxnaes alongside Wirth, GiantMouse built its reputation on Scandinavian-designed, Italian-crafted limited-run folders. Their GMX took Blade Show’s Knife of the Year in 2023. Pairing them with a watch house that equipped U.S. Navy SEALs during Vietnam is, frankly, an obvious match.
The Watch: Exotic Revisited
The Super Sea Wolf Pro Diver here is based on the 42mm stainless steel diver with 300m of water resistance and a Swiss STP 1-21 automatic movement that’s COSC-certified to keep time within -4/+6 seconds per day.
The colorway, though, is where Zodiac and GiantMouse set this edition apart. The black sunray dial carries orange hour markers and a pale blue ceramic bezel insert, a direct callback to a 1970s “Exotic” colorway that Wirth himself owns. Gold-toned hands add some contrast to the stark palette.

The Knife: Actually Built for the Water
GiantMouse’s contribution is a fixed-blade dive knife made in Italy from N360 Satin Steel, chosen specifically for its saltwater corrosion resistance. The 3.8-inch blade sports a blunt tip for safety, partial serrations for cutting nylon or kelp, and an integrated line cutter. The handle is black anodized aluminum with an orange G10 inlay, echoing the watch’s dial colors. Perforated handle cutouts allow water to pass through freely, which also speeds up the rinse-down after a dive. It weighs 4.4oz, and a sheath and leg strap are included.
