Watch: Gents 1961 Bulova Self-winding Wrist Watch

The watch has a 17-jewel automatic movement which is working nicely. The watch measures 31mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs... although originally designed as a man’s watch, it would suit a slimmer wrist. The case is gold plated while the case back is stainless steel. The case is in lovely condition and has an unusual pie crust design. Later winding crown. The case back is stainless steel. It states that the watch is waterproof but, as with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from water and moisture. Both the case and movement have the same date code for 1961. The lens is in good condition, some reflection showing in the photos. The dial is in its original finish with original hands. There is some age related darkening to the dial but still easy to read the time. A new leather strap has been fitted. The watch comes in a new presentation box.
