Early impressions: It's really a pretty watch (my pics don't show it too well). The bezel is quite good and looks nice with the neon green colourwheys. The dial is polar white, which makes it somewhat difficult to read in certain light; the hands are high-polished chrome. The lume is pretty pathetic, it actually fails the patented quick-glance-in-a-dark-car test.
The design is nice, a throwback to Zodie's Aerospace series from the 1960s. The size is good, too, 40mm, about 14mm thick. I don't have my calipers anyplace I can find them, but the lug-to-lug is comfortable. Lug size is 20mm, and tapers down to, I'd guess, around 16mm at the clasp. Interestingly, here's one of the problems, viz:
On the bracelet, there's not so much of a taper as an afterthought plunge to a smaller size. This is a watch that retails for damn near $1800, and the bracelet shouldn't look like that in this price range (I got it for a 25% discount from Topper Jewelers in CA.)
Indeed, there are other things that would have made this a killer eight- or nine-hundred dollar watch. The timekeeping is all right, about 11-12 seconds fast a day, but not great. The finishing of the bracelet and case are also OK, but not some of note. It's not a chronometer, but for nearly two grand, it wouldn't have killed Zodiac to tighten the timekeeping a little.
Comparing this to another GMT I own, the Sinn 105 UTC (which retails for about $350 more than the Zodiac), there's no contest. The Sinn offers so much more value than the Zodiac--more wearable, better timekeeping, overall, a lot more quality. When I wear the Zodiac, I find myself wishing I had chosen the Sinn or Tudor GMT instead.

It's neon green, you crazy Cajun. Or something.
Love it! Man am I glad to see more and more Zodiac love on here.

It sure is pretty, though.
That's a swell watch. I like lime too.
I even have a watch named after it.
