In 1958, Bulova was producing a waterproof diver’s watch for the US Navy’s Experimental Diving Unit (EDU). While the Bulova was under development, the U.S. Navy performed official tests on the Rolex Submariner and the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms but interestingly the Enicar Seapearl 600 was also popular with U.S. Navy divers even though they were in (non-issued). So the U.S. Navy included the Seapearl 600 in the tests as well. there is a great article over at Worn & Wound that outlines this interesting history of the Enicar Seapearl 600, it's for sure worth a read!
