It's a watch worth having. The Zodiacs were, in their day, a "go to" watch for professional and technical divers. Even now, a good one is worth having and wearing.
The biggest challenge is finding one in good condition aesthetically. As watches used by divers who needed a dive watch, many of them got beaten up pretty bad, though they took the licking and kept on ticking too.
As a desk diver who never dove below 50 feet, I have no desire to own a dinged up watch. Were I a former diver who used one, I'd wear it proudly, dings and all. The dings would in the latter case be mine and would have a story to go with them. IMO, "my story" of experiences with a given watch are far more meaningful and interesting than any story a watch company might have about themselves.
Squale makes a decently similar looking watch that one can buy new.
All the best.
