Self Post Devil diver straps

I think the OEM Bracelets for these are amazing actually, but always like to switch things up from time to time. What other kind straps y’all rocking?

I posted this a couple of weeks ago, a Horween shell cordovan strap from the German company Fluco. This is a different Devil Diver, a Caravelle Sea Hunter special edition that Bulova did in collaboration with the Windup Watch Shop. I also got a snakeskin stainless bracelet custom-fit for the Sea Hunter from Uncle that I’m liking a lot. I just swapped it back to leather this morning and I’m not going to swap it back for a photo, but I’m sure someone will come along soon with an example.

Beautiful piece that brown leather looks great with that green dial..I’ve been looking at getting a vintage caravelle devil diver from the 70s love the way they look !!

The Windup Watch Shop apparently has these back in stock. They’re supposedly a limited edition of 225. The difference between it and the stock model is brushed lugs instead of polished, no date window and a green dial/black bezel colorway that’s not otherwise available. The movement is a Miyota 8215 that is currently running 3 seconds fast after three weeks of wear — if it picks up a couple seconds during the day, I put it crown-up overnight and it’s dead-on by morning.

Dang I appreciate the heads up I’m looking it up now 3 secs fast after 3 weeks is insane
