-
CASE: CLEAN AND CRISP SOLID STEEL CASE MEASURING A LARGE 36.7mm NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED CROWN BY 44.5mm LUG TO LUG. CHECK OUT THAT SOLID WHITE GOLD FLUTED BEZEL! SUCH A SEXY CASE SHAPE WITH A NOD TO THE ROLEX DATEJUST. I JUST LOVE THE WAY THIS THING WEARS...NICE BIG AND MODERN.
-
DIAL: MAYBE ONE OF THE FINEST BULOVA DIALS I’VE SEEN. CHECK OUT THAT SILVER LINEN TAPESTRY DIAL WITH THOSE KILLER RED HOUR MARKERS WHICH ARE SUPER COOL. NICE AGED TRITIUM ON THE LUME PLOTS AND ON THOSE HANDSOME SANDWICH STYLE STICK HANDS. ALL TIED TOGETHER WITH THAT CHERRY RED PYLON SWEEP HAND.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS WELL MANNERED GENT RUNS ON AN IN-HOUSE BULOVA SWISS 17J 11BLACD AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT WHICH HAS BEEN KEEPING GOOD TIME AND WINDING EFFORTLESSLY. QUICKSET IS ACHIEVED BY ROTATING TIME BETWEEN 2000-2400. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT THIS IS A STRONG RUNNER.
THIS OCEANOGRAPHER COMES ON A SUPPLE AND HIGH QUALITY DARK BROWN BRIDLE LEATHER STRAP WHICH LOOKS SPORTY. FOR THE MONEY, YOU CANNOT FIND A CLASSIER WATCH. THIS ONE HAS ALL THE SWAGGER AND PANACHE OF A DATEJUST, BUT I THINK THESE OCEANOGRAPHER 333s HAVE THEIR OWN GROOVY DESIGN LANGUAGE AND ALLURE. THIS VERSION WITH THE RED ACCENTS AND TAPESTRY DIAL WAS MADE IN VERY LIMITED QUANTITIES, AND I’VE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER ONE IN PERSON. YOU’VE GOT TO JUMP ON THIS ONE!
