Why you need vintage watches
Up until now we have focused purely on new watches that are readily available online. However for episode 4, I think its time we have a look at something completely different...
Vintage watches have been increasing in popularity year on year. One only needs to look at popular examples from Rolex such as the Paul Newman Daytona or the 5513 Submariner to know all of these models have massively increased in value
Unfortunately all of the above references are now more than £10,000 so can’t make an appearance in this series, however there is a watch which equally has similar charm and history...
A brief history Of Caravelle Watches
Caravelle was introduced in 1962 as a way for popular watch manufacture Bulova to create and offer consumers a wider range of watches at a lower price point.
Commonly priced around $10 - $30, Caravelle was Bulova's more affordable line up, a way for them to produce models for the market without potentially harming or de-valuing the Bulova name.
Think of Bulova as Rolex and Caravelle as Tudor if you will, Fast forward a few years to 1968 and Caravelle had cracked the US becoming the largest selling jewelled movement watch.
This exact model we have here is called the Caravelle SeaHunter.
As expected with older watches, the Caravelle comes in smaller than our modern interpretation of divers watches with a case width of 36.5mm, a lug to lug distance of 44mm and a thickness of around 11mm.
