The stainless-steel case, rotating bezel, bracelet and clasp display scratches, scuffs and surface marks. Wear is most evident on the gold-plated decorative elements of the bracelet, where fading and loss of plating can be observed. The mineral crystal shows age-related surface marks. The grey dial remains attractive, while the luminous material on the hands and hour markers presents ageing and colour variation consistent with the watch’s vintage character. The watch is functioning at the time of listing, including the time and date functions. Although originally rated to 100 metres, its water resistance has not been tested and should not be relied upon without professional inspection and pressure testing. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an essential part of the condition description. Story & Heritage Bulova has long been associated with technical innovation and bold, recognisable design. Founded in New York in 1875, the company built an international reputation by combining precision movements with watches created for the changing lifestyles of each generation. The Superior 2000 reflects a period when integrated bracelets, mixed-metal finishes and instrument-inspired bezels defined modern sports watches. Its full compass scale evokes travel and exploration, while the grey dial and restrained 33 mm case retain enough elegance for everyday wear. The surviving gold-tone details and visible signs of use tell the story of a watch that has travelled through time rather than remaining untouched. With its original bracelet, unusual rotating bezel and reliable Swiss quartz movement, this Bulova represents an appealing piece of vintage sports-watch design. Internal Reference Number - Itm. 892
