The Bulova Snorkel Series Great White Shark reference 98B449 continues Bulova’s legacy of innovation and ocean‑inspired craftsmanship, blending vintage dive‑watch DNA with a bold modern reinterpretation. Drawing influence from the iconic Oceanographer, this refreshed Snorkel model features a recognizable retro case profile updated using Hybrid Ceramic, an advanced composite engineered for enhanced durability and a luxuriously smooth finish.

The 41mm grey hybrid‑ceramic case frames a crisp wave‑pattern white dial, capturing the dynamic textures of the ocean’s surface. A grey unidirectional elapsed‑time bezel with a bi‑colour insert adds further visual depth, while silver‑tone hands and applied markers filled with luminescent material ensure outstanding legibility in low‑light or underwater environments. A date window positioned at 3 o’clock provides everyday practicality, and the caseback is etched with a detailed Great White Shark illustration—an homage to the marine life that inspires this special edition.

Powered by a dependable Quartz movement (caliber 2115) accurate to 15 seconds per month, the Snorkel 98B449 delivers reliable performance, while the grey perforated HNBR rubber strap offers comfort, flexibility, and ocean‑ready resilience. With 100 meters of water resistance, a double‑curved mineral box crystal, and a timeless 3‑hand design, this watch perfectly balances vintage charm, modern engineering, and Bulova’s long‑standing connection to the sea.
