1969 Bulova Oceanographer Snorkel "M"
The vintage Bulova obsession in the watch community is very real and here to stay! The unique and funky watches that Bulova made from the 60s-80s are always a cause for conversation. Ranging from colorful diving chronographs to eccentric electric watches like the famous Accutron.
Bulova is no stranger when it comes to diving watches and many of the models Bulova has created are nicknamed "Devil Diver" in reference to their ominous depth ratings which read 666 ft. However, their designs are loved for their often bright color pallets and unique case shapes. The Oceanographer Snorkel "M" was one of Bulova's premier watches, advertised to be able to withstand extreme conditions and be the perfect everyday watch for adventurers, we couldn't agree more!
