Accutron Deep Sea 'A' c.1970
Accutron Deep Sea 'A' c.1970
The classic Deep Sea ‘A’ diver from Bulova.
This is the renowned 666ft “devil diver” that has been reissued and only continued to gain popularity. At over 41mm wide, this was big, bold, and certainly a timeless offering in the Accutron lineup.
Particularly notable on this model is the wonderfully preserved orange color on the inner bezel and the sweep hand, which are often much more faded on these timepieces. With a very clear, attractive dial, and only minor flaws, this offering is an excellent Deep Sea ‘A’ example to add your collection.
