DESCRIPTION
This vintage 1940s Bulova estate watch features a curved rectangular 14K solid rose gold case, warm copper-tone dial, stylized Art Deco Arabic numerals, and a subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o'clock. The rich rose gold and aged dial give the watch strong period character.
Powered by a Bulova manual-wind mechanical movement, the watch is fitted with a genuine lizard aftermarket band. Its distinctive rectangular case and small-seconds layout make it an excellent example of vintage Bulova dress-watch design.
