New Bulova Oceanographer Devil Diver Watches Hands-On

Spurred on by the success of last year's Archive Series Oceanographer Devil Diver, Bulova has recently announced the release of two new color variants to expand its heritage-informed collection The new watches are, except for updated dial colors, identical to the last year's non-limited, slightly less true-to-the-original, 44mm-wide Devil Diver, originally available with a black and red color scheme Dial text remains old-school, with an applied Bulova signature at 12 o'clock, "Oceanographer" just underneath, as well as "Automatic," "Snorkel," and the Devil Diver moniker "666" located at 6 o'clock.

Bulova's modern Devil Diver case features a retro cushion style, with polished sides and a polished top that slopes steeply to meet the acrylic inlaid bezel, one of the most powerful throwback elements of the reissued Devil Diver series As I mentioned, Bulova has done nothing new other than to add a few more colors to its 44mm non-limited Devil Diver The Archive Series Devil Diver watches are still a reasonable value proposition at their full retail price of $795 and an even better deal at what are likely much lower Internet prices.

For those who take their vintage inspired divers a bit larger and with some flair, the Archive Series Oceanographer Devil Diver in its new colors represents a welcome and interesting choice in a crowded market. . Source
