The Snorkel II is a welcomed re-make of a vintage Bulova diver's model. The standard steel mesh strap adds to the vintage feel and Bulova have been careful in faithfully recreating this particular watch.
As part of the Accurton range, these watches run off a battery powered high-frequency movement that results in a sweeping second hand. Owners can enjoy the benefits of quartz accuracy and reliability along with the pleasing aesthetic of a gracefully gliding second hand, usually only associated with mechanical movements.

The watch features an internal bezel for timekeeping. This internal dial which is graduated in minutes, is turned by one of the two crowns and then locked into place. Water resistance is to 200m or 20 ATM.
Retailing for around £350 in the UK (at the time of writing) or a far more reasonable $275 in the US, this watch offers great 60's and 70's design and a watch with great heritage at a very affordable price. Vintage models sell for anything between £250 and £500 depending on condition.
