BV-100: Rare 70's Bulova Devil Diver 666 Feet Chronograph w/ Valjoux 7733 Movement
This is a very cool and very rare 1970's Bulova Diver Chronograph in very good original condition. The stunning original black tachometer dial bears the following markings: "BULOVA | 666 FEET | | T SWISS MADE T". The crown and pushers like everything else on the watch are original. The outside of the screw down stainless steel back reads: "BULOVA | STAINLESS STEEL | 666 FEET" and also bears the reference number "624430 N1. The inside of the case back reads: "895 | SWISS". The Valjoux 7733 movement is marked: "BULOVA WATCH CO | 14 E8 | SEVENTEEN 17 JEWELS | UNADJUSTED". The movement also bears the correct markings to identify the movement as a Valjoux 7733 movement. This vintage watch shows just the right amount of age yet retaining its full mechanical functionalities - it would be a great addition to any serious chronograph or diver watch collection.
Please Note: While this watch was waterproof rated when originally produced, gaskets and seals wear out over time. Consequently, we do not guarantee that this watch retains its original waterproof rating. It would be best to have a watchmaker check all the gaskets and seals before subjecting it to water or high humidity conditions.
Dimensions:
Width (including crown) : 40 mm
Width (excluding crown): 37 mm
Distance Between Lugs: 20 mm
Lug Tip to Lug Tip: 47 mm
Thickness (Case Back to Top of Bezel): 12 mm
Condition is very good throughout. The original dial is in great condition - shows just the right amount of patina. The all stainless steel case shows the nicks & scuffs consistent with being 50+ years old - but nothing offensive. The original signed Bulova crown is intact. The Valjoux 7733 movement is running strong & accurately - all chronograph functions work as they should.
