Vintage 1970s Bulova Deep Sea Chronograph Print Advertisement — Original Diver Watch Ad
Approximately 8 x 11 inches.
This vintage Bulova Deep Sea Chronograph original print ad dates from the early 1970s, when American watchmaking was staking its claim against Swiss rivals with bold, tool-watch attitude. The magazine advertisement fills its page with a commanding close-up of the blue-dialed Deep Sea Chronograph — 666-foot water resistance, swept-seconds stopwatch hand measuring to one-fifth of a second, dual subdials, and a sculpted stainless bracelet that looks ready for anything. The irreverent headline — 'It costs a little more, but it stops' — is a masterclass in 1970s advertising wit. A compelling collectible ad for Bulova enthusiasts and vintage dive-watch collectors alike.
