I really like this watch. A good size at 38mm, with a traditional dive watch vibe. For the price, it's a banger that I plan on keeping.
This new Caravelle Sea Hunter has joined my everyday carry rotation. Im not much of a dive watch enthusiast since I've never been more than ten feet under water in my entire life and have no plans to be. But this new Sea Hunter can kinda pull off field watch vibes since it's not ridiculously big nor pretentious like so many watches. Quality is fantastic and the price point is a bargain especially now during Thanksgiving sale deals. Milled clasps are overrated marketing. I just want one that works and this one does so without adding much weight or bulk. The pièce de résistance is the domed crystal. Well done Bulova! A flat sapphire would have ruined this piece. I dont need sapphire glass. That's more marketing mumbo jumbo. If you're on the fence about buying this watch don't be. Just buy it. You're welcome.
The Caravelle is a stylish reissue of a classic diver with that has retro appeal. The watch is well sized at 40mm and the dial has a nice aesthetic with an aged look to the indices. It looks like a more modern expensive watch and the movement keeps good time. The watch seems to stay powered for 24-30 hrs unworn. My only concern is it isn’t the most comfortable to wear on the wrist. I had 2 full sized links and a half link removed and made micro adjustments but it still rubs a bit and presses on the wrist. It is sized correctly but doesn’t feel 100% right.
Beautiful vintage inspired watch. I switched the band for a leather nato strap.
