I’d buy it again
I’ve always respected Bulova but have never purchased one before. Of all the watches in the lineup, the Oceanographer GMT Root Beer, in my opinion, best captures the sexiness of the 70s. The Oceanographer GMT Rose gold will turn heads and get a decent amount of attention. The band,while extremely comfortable, does feel a little cheap and where the clasp engages it’s already wearing the rose gold off. That being said, the rest of the watch is beautifully made and I have no complaints.
Bristling fan makes a comment
I am a Breitling lover, but admire the Bulova brand. I have give several as gifts and these watches are top notch.
A Bold New Entry to the Devil Diver Series
Of all the watches in the Devil Diver lineup, the Oceanographer GMT Root Beer, in my opinion, best captures the vintage spirit of the Archive Series. With it's warm brown and black bezel, the Oceanographer GMT Root Beer feels like a watch that was born from the 70's. And the rose gold metal brings attention to the jewel-like hour markers in a way that conveys vintage elegance. These design features, however, does not in any way take away from what someone would expect from a watch carrying the infamous 666 feet indication on the dial. The bezel pip's fierce appearance honors the Devil Diver spirit. And the black dial carries an intimidating presence that only a select few would feel confident wearing. Whether you are looking for something bold and different to wear on certain occasions or find yourself strongly identifying with this watch, the Oceanographer GMT Root Beer has an overpowering quality that's definitely worth experiencing.
