I’ve known about this watch for sometime now, and after seeing one sitting in a case at Macy’s I couldn’t resist checking it out, and was in love. What kept me from picking one up earlier was reading the reviews as some here mentioned the movement doesn’t hack which is false, clearly they don’t own the Oceanographer Devil Diver. It’s a Miyota 821D which has a stop seconds and beats at a smooth 21,600BPH with 42hrs reserve of power. Well done Bulova, the Oceanographer is a blast!

I bought this a few weeks ago and honestly I'm blown away! The finishing, color, band and the whole package is amazing. I have from Cartier to Rolex and more and this really is my very favorite. Pure fun! Additionally, so many people ask about my watch and I never get asked about any of my watches.

1:MSRP is a JOKE!This is a $400.00 watch Max..NON hacking,low beat movement.ONLY the MSRP & movement let this watch down..The way the watch LOOKS IS BEYOND COMPARE!I've owned Orange divers from every watch maker on earth & NEVER seen this shade of ABSOLUTELY Florescent /Safety Orange on a watch!MAGNIFICENT DIAL!STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL Box Sapphire Crystal!Still can NOT confirm lug width but NOT 20mm,18/19mm lug width but not sure..Strap is comfortable & long,doesn't seem to attract dust..These WILL sellout,based on the amazing dial & small size(41mm x ?)but NOT at asking price,about $400.00-$475.00 is fair..2 years from now though they might be worth a couple grand! PS:Case is POLISHED,NOT brushed..

This was an impulse purchase. I got it on a whim, I do love the color and have a couple others with the same color dial. But this, as a daily wear watch, with the rubber strap just works. A good rough and tumble piece, you don't need to worry about it. I use mine as a work watch, and just love the dial pop. The water resistance is also a nice addition, so it goes well in the water after you're done working.
It certainly pops! Not subtle and always noted when worn. Accuracy exceeds expectation. When colleagues ask, it offers an opportunity educate on the color orange to diving, the unique “Devil Diver” story and Bulova’s heritage. The caliber hacks. The size is right for many wrists. My only issue is the rubber strap is stiff and smaller than the “universal” 20mm. Best of all fun to wear.
Very unique and fun. I wish it had a better movement, but everything else is great
