·On offer from my personal collection is a gorgeous Caravelle (Bulova) Sea Hunter (aka "the Devil Diver"), from 1966. This model was first produced in 1965-6, and retains the classic dauphine hands configuration (in later models, these were replaced with baton ones and the seconds hand with the lollipop one).
The all steel case is in excellent, unpolished condition. 36.5mm diameter, original crown, and case back with the engravings still clearly readable. Signed in four places--dial, movement, caseback, and crown. 20mm lugs.
Hand-winding 11DP movement is very clean and running strong.
The real highlights here are the magnificent, unfaded and unmarked "Explorer" dial with tritium numerals and the crisp, bright bezel, with no visible signs of ghosting. The bezel is often the first element to start to fade or have paint loss on these models, but there's none of that here.
Indexes and hands uniformly turned in an attractive patina. Hands show the spotting typical on this model.
This is, as near as my searches can determine, one of the best-preserved examples currently on the market.
Prices from private sellers are all over the shop, and highly dependent on condition and version. But early-model dauphine-handed ones in good condition are typically on offer at $1100+.
For this one, I am asking what I think is a very fair $900. Only selling it b/c I have a duplicate in the collection.
Shipping to US, Canada, UK/Europe by method of buyer's choosing. Other destinations possible, with arrangements tbd. Will come on the brown leather strap as pictured.
I have been selling and buying on OF for several years, all to the full satisfaction of everyone involved. Testimonials here:
