Step back into the golden era of American watchmaking with this stunning 1946 Bulova Tank. This timepiece is a masterclass in Art Deco design, featuring a highly sought-after engraved "scroll" bezel that catches the light from every angle. The watch is powered by the legendary Bulova 10BC movement, a 15-jewel manual-wind powerhouse known for its reliability. This specific movement is stamped with the "46" date code, firmly placing its production in the immediate post-war era. Condition Report • Case: 10K Gold-Filled. Shows honest "brassing" on the high points (lugs and edges), which adds a genuine vintage character that collectors appreciate. • Dial: Original silver-tone dial with raised gold-tone Arabic numerals and a crisp sub-seconds register at 6 o'clock. Develops a light, even patina. • Crystal: High-dome acrylic crystal in good condition, accentuating the curved "Tank" profile. • Bracelet: Period-correct Rolled Gold expansion bracelet. The underside shows typical wear for its age but remains functional and matches the case's aesthetic perfectly. • Movement: The 10BC movement is currently running and keeping accurate time. As with all vintage timepieces, the service history is unknown, and a professional service is recommended for long-term daily use. Why Bid on This Watch?
