This is a 1960s Zodiac Olympus mystery dial watch. Originally created in 1961, the Zodiac Olympos is a line of highly creative watches featuring a signature “manta ray” case. Unique to Zodiac, this case design is asymmetrical across the horizontal axis of the watch, which creates the illusion of different length lugs above and below, and moves the crown off-center to two o’clock. The swooping lines of the case are at once elegant and energetic, giving the Olympos a distinct and exciting personality. The case has a space age design and some collector often called it the Batman logo shape cased. The special case has a practical use too. The flared upper half protects the 2 o'clock crown.
