Caravelle Watches for Christmas

When I go through my watch collection looking for good ideas for Christmas Gifts, one thing in clear:  "C" stands for Caravelle.  Caravelle by Bulova watches provide Bulova style and construction in an affordable package.  

Caravelle by Bulova

One of my favorite diver-style watches was this old Caravelle by Bulova Men's 45B35 Rubber Strap Black Dial Watch (above). While this one is no longer made, you can find many Caravelle watches on Amazon or at retailers like JC Penney.

Where a Bulova watch might cost $100 to $600, a Caravelle by Bulova watch can come it at a much more attainable price of $130 or less. Here are some great looking Caravelle watches for men.  (In 2024, I ordered this murdered-out Caravelle on Amazon.)

Caravelle (Model 45B155)

As of November 2025, a variant of this watch is available on Amazon with a similar murdered out look, but with subdials and chronograph functionality. It's model 45B159 (below) and it's available at a great low price! You can see this cool Caravelle Sport watch here on my Amazon affiliate link.

Caravelle is great for solid watch styles that provide a hint of prestige at a price most of us can afford. If you like the fluted bezel look of watches like the Rolex Perpetual Oyster or Rolex Datejust. You can get a little of that dazzle for a song with the Caravelle 3-Hand Date Watch with Coin Edge Bezel (shown below).

This great fluted (or coin-edge) bezel watch comes in 6 different strap and color variants. In 2025, you can get it here on Amazon!

In the spirit of the holiday season, don't overlook Caravelle by Bulova watches for women, they look great and offer a lot of style at a reasonable price. If your lady love likes Swarovski crystal or a old world vintage look, Caravelle watches always let her have the time!
