AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant and timeless, this extraordinary vintage Bulova chronograph embodies all the charm of Swiss watchmaking from the 1950s/1960s around
Bi-compax dial of rare aesthetic harmony: Arabic numerals with classic taste, tachymeter scale “Kilomètres à l’Heure” and period typography details that recall the great aviation and racing chronographs of the era.
Lug shape is drop-style typical of the period
Inside beats an authentic Swiss manual-wind chronograph movement with 17 jewels, recently serviced (see receipt), capable of combining mechanical precision and collectible pleasure. The steel case back, the construction in keeping with the era and the movement finishes confirm the piece’s authenticity and character.
Case diameter about 36 mm excluding crown, an extremely modern and wearable size for a 1950s chronograph.
The dial presents in excellent aesthetic condition; however, definite information about any restorations or reissues carried out over the years is not available.
Vintage leather strap complete
Accompanied by its Bulova box, this chronograph represents not only a timepiece of great charm but also a testament to the elegance and craftsmanship of post-war watchmaking.
