original sense of style that can easily be trademarked by a well picked vintage

DETAILS:
Case: ‘Wrist Alarm’ model. Very sophisticated and
noticeably different with a unique and unusual design. Original
and signed BULOVA on the back. The stainless steel bezel and two part case back
have been cleaned & repolished and fitted with a new acrylic crystal. The
case back has an almost mirrored finish. In general the case looks great with only modest wear/scratches commensurate
with the age of the watch. The case is NOT waterproof.
Crowns: Original,
signed ‘Bulova’ showing some wear.
Dial: The
dial has been professionally refinished in a two-tone silver tone design. The quarter
hour positions are marked with numerals whilst the remaining hour positions are
angular markers an interesting design detail is that these are tapered to work
with the camber of the dial. The ‘Bulova’ name, ‘Wrist Alarm’, Waterproof’ and
‘swiss’ are in black. The hour positions along with the hour and minute hands
have been relumed and now glow well in the dark. Despite what it says on the
dial the watch is NOT waterproof.
Hands: The hour
and minute hands are original, pitched ‘Dauphine’ style. The sweep second hand
and alarm hand are also original both being blue/black steel with the latter
having a red arrow tip.
Movement: BULOVA high quality Swiss manual wind movement.
This is a fine classic 11AERC calibre with 17 jewels marked ‘M0’ for 1960. The movement has been cleaned, oiled
& adjusted, and is running well, keeping good time ready to wear. As with
all vintage watches regular servicing is recommended.
Size: Round, approx. 33.74mm in diameter. Approx. 40.42mm lug
to lug.
Band: A
new 18mm black leather band with stainless steel buckle has been fitted complementing
the timepiece perfectly.
