Key Features

This classic watch is in impeccable condition, with the case featuring a crispness that makes it hard to believe it’s over 50 years old. The caseback features a ballerina, a symbol of grace and precision, which perfectly embodies the brand’s commitment to quality craftsmanship.

But the beauty of this watch isn’t just skin deep. It also features a 40-micron thick gold plating, which is double the normal thickness for watch plating. This thick plating not only gives the watch a luxurious look and feel, but also ensures that it remains in pristine condition for years to come. There’s no visible wear on the edges, which is a testament to the quality of the plating and the care taken by its previous owner.

The watch is powered by a manual-wound 11ALC calibre movement, which is reminiscent of the era when American watchmakers like Bulova and Gruen competed with Rolex for accuracy. The movement is similar in appearance to the Rolex Precision, and is just as reliable and precise. This makes the watch not just a beautiful accessory, but also a reliable timekeeping instrument.

To complete the package, the watch comes with a high-quality black dual-side genuine leather strap. The strap is soft and comfortable to wear, and complements the watch’s classic design perfectly. Whether you’re a collector, a vintage enthusiast, or just looking for a beautiful and reliable watch, this vintage Bulova timepiece is a must-have.
