Bulova, a pioneer in American horology, was deeply integrated into the Swiss movement market by this era, frequently utilising high-quality ETA-based calibres to compete with the rising tide of quartz. The \"N9\" code on the case back confirms its 1979 production date. The lug-to-lug of 41.5mm and a slender case thickness of 10mm ensure an incredibly elegant and slim profile on the wrist, making it a versatile choice for both casual and formal wear. At 3 o’clock, a signed crown allows manual winding and quick setting of the day and date functions. A polished bezel holds a flat crystal over a striking, deep-red dial that shifts beautifully in the light. The dial is set with applied baton indexes, while a framed day-date window sits at the 3 o'clock position. Simple stick hands and a fine sweeping second hand maintain the dial's clean, sophisticated aesthetic. On the reverse, a screw-down case back bears the model reference and the serial number. Inside is the Automatic Bulova Cal. 1413.10, which is based on the robust and highly regarded ETA 2836-1, a 17-jewel high-beat movement known for its reliability and smooth sweep. The watch comes fitted with a 22mm leather strap, which, given the wide lug width for its case size, gives the watch a unique and commanding presence on the wrist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-cb276d81-7fff-3b34-2752-92f717d696f5\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bulova","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56800312230268,"sku":"443 01 06","price":395.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/0771\/3366\/files\/1_54b559a1-b7e3-42fc-913d-06d5284423f2.jpg?v=1779449978","url":"https:\/\/kibblewatches.co.uk\/products\/1979-bulova-automatic-day-date-deep-red-dial-35-5mm","provider":"KibbleWatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
