***********The Bulova 2182 electronically controlled tuning fork movement had a new battery installed in August 2026. It keeps time to within specs (+-30 seconds per day) and the date wheel rolls over as it should. Given the movement's unknown service history a complete overhaul is likely long overdue and recommended.***********

This seldom seen vintage 1970 Bulova Accutron Deep Sea, which came from the estate of its original owner, has a near pristine matte black dial. The original lume, which emits a quick burst glow after being exposed to bright light, has aged gracefully. The black and red acrylic bezel, which shows wear and rotates smoothly bidirectionally, presents nicely. The all stainless steel case shows honest wear and oxidation. The outer edge of the case back is stamped "BULOVA PATENTED STAINLESS STEEL 666 FEET" with "157470" and "NO" stamped along the inner edge. The inside of the case back is stamped "CB" followed by "702-1" and "SWISS." The crystal, which I believe is original, shows light scratching and dings.

The 13 jewels "U.S.A.,""BULOVA" and "2182" stamped electronically controlled tuning fork movement with hack and quickset date features keeps time to within specs (+-30 seconds per day) and the date wheel rolls over at 12 am. A new battery was installed in August 2026. The quickset date function works flawlessly by turning the crown clockwise until the desired date has been reached. The hack feature works by pulling out the crown which stops the seconds hand. When the crown is pushed back in the seconds hand resumes moving. Given the movement's unknown service history a complete overhaul is likely long overdue and recommended.

This watch measures approximately 39 mm excluding the crown and approximately 18 mm between the lugs. Case thickness, measured from the bottom of the case back to the top of the bezel, is approximately 9 mm. Including the crystal thickness measures approximately 11.5 mm. The lug to lug distance measures approximately 46 mm.

A complete overhaul is recommended. As such there are no warranties, express or implied, attached with the sale of this watch. Vintage means old and while my personal belief is that old-school means better quality and workmanship, things can and do go wrong from time to time. Any servicing costs going forward are your responsibility.
