A very nice watch.
I have never truly satisfied my 'need' for a good dive chrono, with pushers that can be activated underwater. In my time, I had a UTS Chrono. Lovely watch, but too large and thick and did not like the screwed on lugs. Also bought the last Sinn 203 from their factory in Frankfurt (back then), but did not like the feel of the pushers. They were a bit 'loose' feeling.
I like the new Arktis II, but not it's display back or 43mm diameter. I like the Aquastar Deepstar, but it's retro looks and 'one eye' look are not for me (I think).
Some months ago I found out about the Zodiac Sea-chron reviewed here: https://www.ablogtowatch.com/watch-r...s-chronograph/
Must say it's a looker and does seem like a no nonsense watch. Must admit to not know much about Zodiac. Anyone owned any of their watches able to give some feedback on feel, case finish, build quality, warranty, etc?
Most importantly, anyone knows if these pushers can be activated underwater?!

Do you really need a chronograph that can have its pushers operated when submerged ? It seems an odd thing to guide the purchase of an expensive chrono.

I'd imagine as it's called a sea-chron and water proof to 660ft he probably plans on diving with it using the chronograph as a timer.
Either way for absolute certainty I'd contact Zodiac direct, at least they would give you the correct answer.

That's a very good looking Zodiac.
As an aside, here's a thread from a few years ago about divers with pushers that can be used underwater, in case you see something in there that also tickles your fancy:

The Sinn EZM13.1 has pushers that function underwater.
Some Damasko too.

Of course, how else would it be a diving Chronograph if you were not able to use its timing function while diving?
1 Rule for all of my watches in my modest collection. They must all be able to come diving with me :)
Maybe the bezel is used for timing dives, or you need the precision of seconds rather than minutes ? I’d guess a pusher could get accidentally knocked, and surely the legibility of chrono hands isn’t great when underwater.
