The Zodiac Astrographic exists as part of a class of "mystery dial" watches that have
origins going back over 100 years - probably a lot longer. Back in the Art Deco era,
Cartier produced a series of mystery clocks which had hands which appeared to float on the
dial. This effect was produced by putting the hands on transparent discs.
The various styles of the modern Zodiac Astrographic all have the hour, minute, and seconds
hands (the latter is just a moving red dot on the dial), each on their own transparent
disc. These discs are connected in the middle of the dial and spin moving the hands around
as you would normally expect - only they don't have a visual connection. There is a small
black dot applied to the sapphire crystal over this central connection point to complete
the "mystery experience." Each of the various dial versions of the Zodiac Astrographic
changes the colors of the hands and face a bit. I find that all of them are rather easy to
live with but liked this particular Zodiac Astrographic ref. ZO6601 with the silver dial
that matches the case nicely.
