DIAL: NICE CLEAN AND CLASSIC LOOK WITH THIS GORGEOUS MINTY BLACK DIAL. I LOVE THOSE APPLIED STEEL MARKERS WHICH LOOK NO-NONSENSE. I'M AN ABSOLUTE SUCKER FOR A 2-TONE DAY/DATE WINDOW. NICE CLEAN WHITE HANDSET LOOKS MIGHTY COOL AND LENDS TO SOME STRONG CONTRAST. THE SHOW-STOPPER, THOUGH, IS THAT CHERRY RED AIRPLANE TIPPED SWEEP SECONDS HAND.

MOVEMENT: THIS DEVIL DIVER RUNS ON A HIGH-GRADE 17J A.SCHILD AUTOMATIC TICKING UNDER THE HOOD. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST ROBUST MOVEMENTS OF THE ERA. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT THERE ARE MANY SERVICE MARKS ON THE INSIDE CASEBACK. WATCH HAS BEEN WINDING SMOOTHLY, KEEPING GOOD TIME, AND DAY/DATE FLIPS APPROPIATELY.
- WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A SPORTY OLIVE DRAB CANVAS STRAP WHICH PLAYS UP THE MILITARY VIBE ON THIS DIVER. THE BULOVA AND CARAVELLE 666 DIVERS HAVE BECOME CLASSIC COLLECTIBLES OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS DUE TO THEIR EVIL DESIGNATION, BULLETPROOF BUILD QUALITY, AND GROOVY DESIGNS. THIS IS A NICE EXAMPLE AND MAKES FOR A KILLER SUMMER ADDITION TO YOUR WATCH COLLECTION.
