-
CASE: SUPER BOSS TURTLE STYLE ALL STEEL CASE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. WATCH MEASURES A LARGE 40.8mm ACROSS CASE NOT COUNTING ORIGINAL SIGNED CROWN BY 44mm LUG TO LUG. CHECK OUT THAT GORGEOUS BAKELITE COKE BEZEL WITH THE UNI-DIRECTIONAL CLICKING ACTION. BULOVA TOTALLY NAILED THE PROPORTIONS ON THESE.
-
DIAL: IN MY OPINION, THE MOST STRIKING DIAL OF ALL THE BULOVA DEVIL DIVERS. THIS IS THE CLASSIC SNORKEL LAYOUT WITH THE MATTE BLACK DIAL, THOSE SUBTLE CROSS-HAIRS, AND THOSE FAT WHITE HANDS. WHAT REALLY MAKES THIS MODEL STANDOUT ARE THOSE ACRYLIC OPAQUE APPLIED MARKERS WITH THE LUME SITTING UNDER EACH, WHICH WAS A TOTALLY FAR-OUT DESIGN CONCEPT FOR NOT JUST BACK IN 1970...BUT EVEN NOW. THE LUMED LOLLIPOP HAND IS A NICE TOUCH AS IS THE INTERNAL CYCLOPS ON THAT ORIGINAL HI-DOME CRYSTAL.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS OCEANOGRAPHER RUNS ON A HIGH-GRADE IN-HOUSE GILTED BULOVA 11BLACD AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT. EVERYTHING IS WORKING FANTASTIC ON THIS ONE. DATE IS SEMI-QUICKSET. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT THIS ONE IS RUNNING VERY SMOOTHLY AND KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME.
- WATCH IS MOUNTED ON THE ORIGINAL ALL STEEL SIGNED BULOVA BRACELET WHICH IS CURRENTLY SIZED FOR MY 6.75" WRIST WITH 8 ADDITIONAL MICRO-ADJUSTS. THE BULOVA 666 DIVERS HAVE BECOME CLASSIC COLLECTIBLES OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS DUE TO THEIR EVIL DESIGNATION, BULLETPROOF BUILD QUALITY, AND GROOVY DESIGNS. IF YOU ASK ME, THIS IS THE CLASSIC DEVIL DIVER MODEL. NOT ONLY IS IT A SNORKEL, BUT IT'S ALSO AN OCEANOGRAPHER...THAT'S SOME SERIOUS SEA-CRED RIGHT THERE. BULOVA REISSUED THIS MODEL ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, AND THEY MADE IT ALL BLOATED AND OVERSIZED. AT 41mm, THE CLASSIC VINTAGE MODEL WEARS LIKE AN ABSOLUTE DREAM. THESE ARE GETTING HARD TO FIND IN ALL ORIGINAL CONDITION. THIS IS YOUR SUMMER CLASSIC RIGHT HERE WAITING FOR YOU TO PULL THE TRIGGER.
