Caravelle 'Tonneau' Diver

So many wild watches from the 1960s and 1970s have been lost to time.

While many are reissued by their parent companies, others are fished out of drawers to be discovered by the next generation of budding watch enthusiasts. Lots of these pieces are wildly affordable next to their more famous brethren, making them compelling entry points into the watch-collecting universe. One that brand that made many such watches is Caravelle. 

A sub-brand of Bulova, Caravelle lives on today to provide more affordable watches than even its parent company. Its midcentury wares are particularly cool and compelling: This '70s diver, housed in a 36mm tonneau-shaped case with a signed crown, an acrylic crystal, and a rotating, bidirectional bezel with a fully-hashed aluminum dive insert, features a cool silvered dial with an outer black and silver 'tuxedo' minute track, a date window at 3 o'clock, and a luminous 'baton' handset. With its awesome 'baton' and 'dagger' indices, it has a look that few other divers, contemporary or vintage, possess. 

Powered by an automatic movement and paired to an Analog:Shift Casablanca Brown suede strap with matching stainless steel pin buckle, it would be a perfect addition to any budding dive watch collection — or the lovely gift for someone who's just starting his or her journey in the watch world.
