1964 Bulova Snorkel 666 "Devil Diver" Automatic 35mm 386-1
Here we have a 1964 Bulova Snorkel 666 "Devil Diver" Automatic 35mm 386-1. Launched in 1961, recreational Scuba diving was in its infancy, and this watch exceeded the previous dive record of 133m or 436 feet with 203m or 666 feet, hence the ânumber of the beastâ Devil Diver name. It has a 35mm round stainless steel case with tapered lugs, a lug-to-lug length of 43mm, and a case thickness of 12.5mm that curves over your wrist for a comfortable fit. On the right side is a signed coin edge crown, a bidirectional stainless steel bezel that has a coin edge for grip and a deeply engraved 60-minute dive bezel with markings and numerals painted in black. A domed acrylic crystal sits above a black dial. An outer minute track surrounds an Explorer-style dial configuration 12, 6 and 9 and indexes coated in lume marking the hours, at 3 oâclock, a framed date window. Sword hands are filled with lume and complemented by a tapered second hand; at 12 oâclock, we have an applied Bulova motif âSnorkelâ printed underneath, and at 6 oâclock â, Automatic Waterproof 666 Feetâ completes this distinctive vintage dive watch. On the reverse, a screw-down case back with âBulova Waterproofâ and the dancing lady symbolising the Bulova Goddess of Time seen on their watches since the 1920s, inside an automatic Bulover Cal.11 ALACD, 17 jewels, beating at a leisurely 18,000 beats per hour and comes paired with a well-suited 18mm aftermarket suede strap and its original Bulova pin buckle.
