Thanks for posting this. I'm not usually into all the Peanuts stuff but I do really like this. Very fun. This is the best Indiglo pic I could find from the UK retailer Mr Porter. I have a feeling this will look more impressive in person.
Aren't these awesome! I saw a picture of one about 2 months back but I think the only info I could find was in Vietnamese. Then I forgot about them until I saw it again today. They are making them in 2 different sizes too but the 37mm will actually wear fairly large with those lugs. I think these are gonna be a very big hit. There are some very obvious Datejust vibes but it's not a complete rip-off.

These ones are actually 41.8mm; they’re not the LE model so I think they should be plentiful. They’re only 10.4mm thick but the lug-to-lug is 49mm which is a touch bigger than I prefer.
Looks like they are still including the spinning anchor logo. I like that attention to detail.

Yes, spinning anchor is on all current automatic models, sort of represents rotor that is often hidden by solid case back. My favorite feature too.
Rado has been on my radar for a long, long time but I never knew about this detail. How cool! It definitely shoots them higher up on the list.
I can't find where I read this (probably through WUS), but I remember reading the moving anchor served a dual purpose.
1) Once it stopped spinning it indicated that it was time to service the movement.
2) If it had been serviced and not moving, the watchmaker was not paying close attention to their work.

The last 3 IG posts from Zodiac are teasing something space related. The people in the comments appear to not know that this page linked below already exists. An upcoming recreation of the Astrographic that was released to celebrate the moon landing. 182 pieces of each style and coming 8/19/19. Not much more info than that at the moment.
Some follow-up to this one. A blog/publication called The Wrist Watch Review has released some more details of the Astrographic ahead of Zodiac's official release on Monday. I find it hard to believe this information was supposed to be released in this manner. I have added the link below and the details and specs of the watch as reported in the WWR write-up.
I want that blue dial Astrographic.
Loving the date window at 12.
Hating the $1,300 price.
I fear this will never get cheap enough for me to get.
