Bulova Snorkel “Sail 4th” 98B474
A Coast Guard deckhand aboard USCGC Eagle, the service's square-rigged tall ship, in the North Atlantic for Sail 250. The watch is almost too on the nose: a Bulova Snorkel Sail 4th, the special edition Bulova built for America's 250th and the tall ship gathering the Eagle sailed for. First frame is the ship herself, crew laid out along the yards, colors flying. The others are the red dial against her sails and resting on the rail. The watch was made for the occasion, and it found the right wrist. If you have a wrist shot from somewhere that matters, submit at the link in bio. Tempus Est Potentia.

Bulova Snorkel Sail 4th 98B474
Bulova revived its 1970s Snorkel diver as a special edition for America's 250th anniversary and the Sail 4th tall ship celebration. It is a 41 millimeter hybrid ceramic case with a red and blue bezel and a red wave-pattern dial, running a Miyota quartz movement with a date, rated to 100 meters. A commemorative piece tied to a specific event, which is exactly where this one turned up.
USCGC Eagle, Sail 250
The submitter is a deckhand aboard USCGC Eagle, the 295-foot barque that has served as the Coast Guard Academy's training ship since 1946, where cadets and crew learn seamanship the old way, by climbing the rigging and setting sail by hand. Built in Germany in 1936 and taken as war reparations, she is the only active square-rigger in US service. The photos come from Sail 250, the parade of tall ships marking the nation's 250th, with the crew manning the yards in the North Atlantic.
