Snorkel

Can anyone help with identifying this one? Has "Bulova self wind" above and "waterproof 666 feet" below.  hard to see as the crystal is badly scratched. 

1968 Bulova Snorkel "H" # 11406: Stainless Steel Case with  diver's "ET" ring around the dial, Stainless Steel Back, & "Block & Ball" Link Bracelet made by J B Champion USA for Bulova. The dial is black with white minute indices & script ( SNORKEL, 666 FEET, AUTOMATIC, & SWISS) on it. The BULOVA script is in white gold. It has green luminous hands & numbers (6, 9, & 12) & hour indices with a magnified date window at the 3 o'clock position with white backround/black date numerals under it. I purchased this new in March of 1969 at Fort Leonard Wood, MO. when I was there in the service. I wore this through basic training and throughout my time in the service. Over the last 47 years the only thing I have ever done to it was to have it cleaned, serviced, and a new crystal installed on it 23 years ago. I quit wearing it daily about 30 years ago and began wearing my Rolex DateJust instead. I still believe the old Snorkel is one of the toughest, most reliable, and good looking wrist- watches ever built! I store it in it's original box with it's receipt, hang tag, and a magazine ad for it that drove me into buying it back then! I take it out from time to time..wind it up and wear it for the day....It still keeps perfect time!

EDIT:  The last picture is the restored watch with dial by International. All they did was apply the lume and it looks great!

came across a ladies bulova 666 snorkel case , missing the movement can youi help to ID the yr model and which movement it takes

Got this one not working with a bad case of gasket melt, a terribly scratched up crystal, and a broken oscillating weight axle. Given the neglect I was lucky to have such a beautifully aged and perfect dial and hands. The melted rubber had gotten on the movement and was a sticky mess to clean up but it was most certainly worth it! 

Found this in an antique store, needs a new bezel and a correct band. I believe this is a 1961 Snorkel 666, but I have no way of knowing for sure. The serial number on the case is 350540
