1970's Zodiac Olympos Mystery Dial Florentine Manta Ray 18k YG 4004 705
The Zodiac Olympos “Mystery Dial” reference 4004 705 is a bold and unmistakably avant-garde timepiece, showcasing the fearless design language Zodiac was known for in the 1970s. Crafted in 18K yellow gold, the sculptural Olympos case is paired with a striking Florentine finished dial outer dial inside the elusive Manta Ray case that also has a Florentine finish, giving the watch an almost architectural presence on the wrist. The mystery dial layout—where the hands appear to float without a visible connection—adds an element of intrigue and technical artistry that sets this piece apart from traditional Swiss watchmaking of the era.
Powered by a reliable automatic movement and designed during a period when creativity reigned supreme, this Olympos represents peak vintage Zodiac experimentation. The combination of precious metal construction, unconventional display, and rare dial execution makes this reference highly collectible and increasingly difficult to find. Equal parts design object and mechanical timepiece, the Zodiac Olympos Mystery Dial is a statement watch for collectors who appreciate rarity, originality, and unapologetic 1970s flair.
