The Zodiac Sea Wolf & The Zodiac Killer 
The ZODIAC killer derived his name from his wristwatch. I’m guessing, he wasn’t a creative individual to begin with but then again, perhaps he has some other reason besides being creatively-challenged for adapting the name & symbol of ZODIAC for himself.
Well, "ZODIAC"‘s a catchy name, add "Sea Wolf" & that’s sounds pretty scary, doesn’t it? Yes, my friends, Arthur Leigh Allen aka The ZODIAC was actually wearing a ZODIAC Sea Wolf wristwatch while he was being interrogated by the police, which he says was a Christmas gift from his Mother. Well, imagine that.
Here’s a photo of the ZODIAC killer’s Sea Wolf (courtesy of Watchismo). Beside it is a similar ZODIAC Sea Wolf we sold to one of our happy customers more photos & details of the ZODIAC Sea Wolf can be found in our Zodiac Watch archive.
 
It had been reported that the first few wicked, cryptic notes he left for the police were signed as "The Killer" but after a few months, he began calling himself "The ZODIAC" (seems that inspiration took some time to properly surface in his case).
Here’s a copy of one of The ZODIAC killer’s many menacing letters to the police, where he used the ZODIAC symbol (I wonder if copyright infringement was under his list of offenses):
So that’s the ZODIAC Sea Wolf’s story right there! Even the movie depicted the scene where the investigators insisted on seeing The ZODIAC Killer’s watch although, it wasn’t an exact model. The one used on the movie had a date function.
We have sold a number of ZODIAC Sea Wolfs to watch collectors all over the world over many years. Check out our ZODIAC archive on this page!
