The quarter hour positions are marked with numerals whilst the remaining positions are arrow shaped markers. These along with the ‘Bulova’ name are gilt and slightly raised on the dial to great effect. ’23 Jewels’, ‘selfwinding’ and minute chapter are in black. The hour positions along with the hands have been relumed and now glow well in the dark.

 

Hands:         The hour, minute & sweep second hand are all original, gilt, ‘Alpha’ style.

 

Movement:  BULOVA high quality Swiss manual and self-winding movement. This is a fine classic 10BZAC calibre with 23 jewels, marked ‘M1’ for 1961. The movement allows for both manual and self-winding. It is designed to prevent over-winding. The movement has been cleaned, oiled & adjusted, and is running well, ready to wear.
