At the heart of the watch is the 82S0 automatic caliber, a 21-jewel mechanical movement powered by the natural motion of the wrist and offering a power reserve of approximately 40–42 hours. It therefore requires no battery.

One of its most captivating features is the Open Heart aperture at 6 o’clock, which offers a direct view of part of the movement, including the oscillating balance wheel. This detail adds dynamism to an otherwise exceptionally clean, classic dial.

The dial features a refined light tone with a subtly satin finish, paired with applied indices and rose-gold-tone hands. The distinctive applied Bulova symbol sits at 12 o’clock, while the words “Automatic – 21 Jewels” appear to the right of the aperture.

The 41 mm case is made of stainless steel with an elegant rose-gold-tone finish. Polished and satin-finished surfaces accentuate the sleek lines of the case and lugs.

The crown is personalized with the Bulova logo, another detail that highlights the model’s attention to aesthetics.

The watch is completed by an elegant brown leather strap with an alligator-effect finish, contrasting stitching, and a light-colored Bulova-branded lining. The rose-gold-tone buckle is also personalized with the Maison’s logo.

The model also features a transparent case back, allowing the automatic movement to be admired from the back of the watch. The crystal is mineral, and the stated water resistance is 3 bar / 30 meters.

Bulova is a watchmaking Maison founded in New York in 1875 by Joseph Bulova.

The Aerojet draws on this heritage with a classic, vintage-inspired style paired with modern automatic mechanics.

The example offered is in excellent cosmetic condition, with the case, dial, crystal, and strap all very well preserved, as shown in the photographs.
