In October 2000, Zodiac announced the resurrection of the 1971 Astrographic SST which had been one of their most popular and best known collections. The new, high end Astrographic 2000 was designed with updated materials befitting its intended market segment, a sleek look that maintained historical elements of its case styles and the mystery dial, and an MSRP of $1295 each.
The Astrographic 2000 only lasted 13 months. In October 2001, Fossil purchased Zodiac from Genender. A month later Fossil announced discontinuation of Zodiac\'s collections, including the Astrographic 2000, and relaunched completely new lines of watches under the Zodiac name, showing them in the April 2002 Basel Watch Show with retail deliveries later in the Fall. The Astrographic 2000 (along with the Super Sea Wolf) became instant collectibles due to their popularity, uniqueness and very limited production numbers. Even though it wasn\'t intended to be a limited edition, it became one overnight. No more than 500 of this Astrographic 2000 were produced with black, blue and silver dials in round and square cases.
The Astrographic 2000 is made of materials with quality of workmanship in fit, finish and assembly befitting a watch with its original MSRP. The case, signed screw-down crown and signed back are solid stainless steel. The back, which is held on by screws, has a very large Zodiac logo deeply etched into it. Surprising for a cross between a dress and sports watch, it has a 200 meter diver depth rating.
The movement inside is the venerated 25 jewel 28,800 bph ETA 2824-2 automatic. Its high beat gives the orbiting red moon seconds \"hand\" an extremely smooth motion around the very deep lapis blue, fine sunburst texture dial. The case is 38 mm in diameter and 12mm thick. The crystal is heavy, flat sapphire, and the 20mm wide integral band is 3mm thick, made of solid stainless steel links, with a signed butterfly clasp.
