Condition Report
This Bulova Day-Date Automatic is presented in Grade B condition, with signs of age and use consistent with a vintage watch from the 1970s. The stainless steel case shows scratches, small marks and surface wear, particularly around the bezel, case edges and case back. The integrated stainless steel bracelet also shows scratches and signs of regular use.
The blue dial remains attractive and retains its strong colour contrast, with some minor age-related marks visible under close inspection. The applied indexes and hands show signs of ageing consistent with the period. The acrylic crystal shows signs of normal use.

The watch has not been tested for water resistance; therefore, despite the “Water Resistant” inscription on the case back, water resistance is not guaranteed.
Please study all photos carefully, as they are part of the description and show the actual condition of the item.

Story & Heritage
Bulova occupies an important place in 20th-century watchmaking history, combining American identity with significant Swiss manufacturing expertise. During the 1960s and 1970s, the company produced an extensive range of mechanical watches that reflected the rapidly changing design language of the period.

This Day-Date Automatic is an excellent expression of the 1970s integrated-bracelet aesthetic. The broad cushion-shaped case, brushed steel surfaces, geometric dial and integrated bracelet create the strong, architectural appearance that became one of the decade’s defining watch styles.
Its blue-and-silver dial gives the watch additional visual character, while the automatic Swiss movement and practical day-date display make it more than simply a period design piece.

Today, vintage Bulova watches from this era are increasingly appreciated for their combination of distinctive styling, Swiss mechanical construction and accessible horological heritage.
