Bulova Swiss wristwatch – 14k gold-filled case – vintage rectangular dress watch – classic mid-century style.
Description:
This fine Bulova Swiss wristwatch exemplifies the understated sophistication and craftsmanship of mid-century Bulova design. Manufactured during a period when Bulova’s Swiss-made line represented the pinnacle of precision and style, this timepiece blends elegant geometry with reliable mechanical performance.
The watch features a rectangular 14K gold-filled case with smooth curved lugs and polished bezel edges that frame a warm champagne-tone dial. The dial is marked “Bulova” and “Swiss”, confirming its origin and quality. The layout is refined yet distinctive — raised dot hour markers and a sub-seconds dial at 6 o’clock lend symmetry and balance to the design.
The blued-steel hands provide a striking contrast against the gold-tone dial, maintaining legibility and adding a touch of period charm. The dial shows light surface wear and gentle patina consistent with age, giving it an authentic vintage character.
The watch is powered by a manual-wind Swiss movement, a hallmark of precision from Bulova’s European production. The case back bears the serial number 7383445, and the gold-filled construction ensures both durability and a warm luster that has endured beautifully over time.
This example is fitted with a vintage leather strap, completing its refined presentation and offering comfort while maintaining an authentic period appearance.
At the time of cataloging, the movement winds and sets smoothly, though long-term accuracy and power reserve have not been tested.
