Bvlgari Scuba SC38S – Black Dial
Italian Design Meets Swiss Engineering
The Bvlgari Scuba represents a unique moment from the 1990s when the legendary Italian design house fully committed to producing serious, functional sports watches. Introduced as part of the Diagono collection, the Scuba blended the brand's signature bold aesthetic with the legitimate utility of a diver's chronograph. It was a confident move that set Bvlgari apart from traditional Swiss watchmakers, offering a piece that was as much a style object as it was a tool. The SC38S captures this ethos perfectly, with a design that is unmistakably Bvlgari.
A Clean Example From The '90s
This reference SC38S stands out as a well-preserved piece from its era. The 38mm case is a versatile size that wears comfortably today, bridging the gap between vintage proportions and modern presence. The black dial is clean and functional, equipped with a dual-subdial chronograph and a unidirectional rotating bezel for practical timekeeping. The use of a rugged rubber strap underscores its identity as a true sport-luxury watch, ready for any environment.
Untouched And Well Preserved
The watch is in great cosmetic condition. Both the steel case and black dial are untouched, showing honest integrity. The hands and hour markers have developed a matching patina, a detail collectors look for as a sign of originality. All components, including the signed Bvlgari crown and caseback, are original to the watch. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
A Confident Alternative
This is the right choice for someone who appreciates high design and wants a distinctive alternative to mainstream divers. It carries the weight and heritage of one of the world's great jewelers, yet functions as a robust and capable sports watch. The Bvlgari Scuba is for the person who values brand identity and thoughtful design just as much as mechanical capability. It makes a strong statement without being loud.

What Our Clients Say About Us
I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)
Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.
This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
Can't recommend Danny's vintage watches enough!!! My first Omega ever and im in love have been wearing every day since I purchased it. Danny's shop is a must visit if you are in NYC looking for a watch!!!
