Did you notice that non of the ads nor linebooks for the 68-70 Oceanographers have "Oceanographer" under "Bulova" that actual production models have. There are also other dial variances too on the bottom half of the dial:   "Super Waterproof" vs 333 Feet vs just a blank spot:

Yes I finally noticed this too about a week ago. Had never noticed the 'Super Waterproof' text before,

Note also the green lume on the hour markers.

Early models, around 1968, had the Super Waterproof, but I believe that was replaced with the depth as 333 feet once stating 'waterproof' became more regulated.

Nice example...Oceanographer 'H'
