'69 Caravelle Sea Hunter. Just back from a service, not a perfect watch by any means but one I've come to cherish. An objectively bad photo of a watch to celebrate it's return.

The ERA OF TOOL watches she was never a fashion statement back then
Made in 1967 ... she had a full cleaning / overhaul of her mvmnt (only) last Feb 2025, and yes much to my watch makers protestations I had her case (with nos Bulova crown/nos Bulova diver crystal/new gaskets) minus the movement subjected to a 15 minute pressure test BOTH wet and dry.

Dry Test: 5.0 bar (167.3 feet) ... Wet Test: 4.0 bar (133.82 feet)
