The Watch
Bulova Company was founded in 1875 by Joseph Bulova. Based in New York, they moved to 580 Fifth Avenue in 1920. In 1923 Bulova Watch Inc was introduced. He developed standardised watch production and was the first to create a fully electronic watch using tuning-fork technology. Bulova has collaborated with many people and organisations including Lindbergh and NASA. During the very first moonwalk, a Bulova timer was placed in the sea of tranquillity.
Here we have a great example of a Bulova Super Seville Calendar. Yes, it is no secret this is a homage to the Rolex Datejust, but let's take a step back from that and take it on its own merits! The dimensions of this actually make it wear larger than 36.5mm and incredibly flat to the wrist, the slope of the lugs is perfect and the jubilee bracelet offers the comfort you'd come to expect. The fluted bezel holds a flat crystal above a champagne sunburst dial. An outer minute track has Roman numerals above applied baton indexes marking the hours. At 3 o’clock a date window with a cyclops magnification on the crystal. Slim baton hands with lume tips are complemented by a tapered second hand. Text is printed in black at 12 and 6 respectively. On the reverse, a screw-down case back. Inside a Japanese Quartz movement. The watch comes on its original Bulova gold-plated Jubilee bracelet with a folding clasp. Comes with its original Bulova presentation box.
Personal Note
The perfect watch for someone who either loves the full yellow gold look but wants it on a budget, or someone who is unsure of how the full yellow gold look would look on them and want to give it a try without breaking the bank! This is a real gem for the money and so fun on the wrist!
