Introduction
This auction presents the highly acclaimed Bulova Oceanographer "Devil Diver," reference 96B322. This striking timepiece is a modern reissue of Bulova’s iconic 1970s diver, designed for those who appreciate bold vintage aesthetics combined with the reliability of contemporary mechanical watchmaking. Its distinctive "cushion" case and vibrant color palette make it a standout piece in any dive watch collection.
Historical / Era context
The original Bulova Oceanographer gained fame in the early 1970s, earning the nickname "Devil Diver" due to the "666 feet" water resistance marking prominently displayed on its dial—a departure from the standard 200m (600ft) ratings of the time. This modern reissue faithfully recreates the soul of that era, featuring the signature cylindrical luminous hour markers and the high-contrast unidirectional bezel that defined the golden age of saturation diving watches.
Condition
The watch is running properly.
Case: The stainless steel cushion-shaped case is in very good condition, showing only minimal signs of wear. The polished and brushed surfaces remain sharp and well-defined.
Dial: The vibrant teal-green dial is in excellent condition. The unique 3D-applied luminous markers and the "crosshair" design are perfectly preserved. The date window at 3 o'clock functions correctly.
Bezel: The unidirectional rotating bezel with its black and green insert is crisp and operates with a solid click.
Crystal: The boxed sapphire crystal is clear and free of significant scratches, offering a beautiful vintage distortion at the edges.
Band: Equipped with its original Bulova stainless steel multi-link bracelet. It shows very light surface marks from minor use and remains sturdy with a functional fold-over clasp.
