Don’t miss out on this striking vintage Bulova Automatic Day-Date from the 1970s – a bold gold-tone dress watch that captures the era’s style and precision craftsmanship.

Brand: Bulova
Model: Day-Date Automatic
Reference Number: 1133.10
Movement: Bulova Caliber 1133.10, 17 Jewels, Automatic
Dial: Gold-Tone with Vertical Texture and Day-Date Display
Case Size: 36mm (excluding the crown)
Production Year: 1977 (Bulova date code “N7”)
Service History: The movement is running reliably and remains within acceptable vintage tolerances.

Dial and Hands
This Bulova features a vibrant vertically textured gold-tone dial with applied baton hour markers and slim, matching hands. The day and date windows at 3 o’clock provide added functionality without sacrificing design. The dial is signed “T SWISS MADE T” at the bottom, indicating the use of tritium lume. The black-on-white day/date display is crisp and legible, adding both symmetry and functionality to the overall layout.

Case and Crystal
The 36mm gold-tone case is made from base metal with a stainless steel screw-down back, marked “N7” to denote a 1977 production year. It has a bold, cushion-like design typical of 1970s Bulova dress watches. The gold-plated finish is well-preserved with only light wear, and the crystal remains clear for easy reading.

Movement
Inside beats the Bulova Caliber 1133.10 – a robust automatic movement with 17 jewels, made in Switzerland. Clearly stamped on the rotor and mainplate, it offers smooth automatic winding and reliable timekeeping.
The movement is ticking strongly and keeping time well – consistent with vintage watch standards.

Strap
This watch is paired with a new, high-quality black leather strap featuring beige contrast stitching and a gold-tone buckle. The strap adds a refined touch while complementing the warm gold of the dial and case.

Condition
Overall, this Bulova is in great vintage condition with minimal signs of use. The gold dial is vibrant and clean, the case is sharp, and the new strap provides immediate wearability. A small amount of patina is visible on the movement’s plates, as expected for a watch of this age.

Dimensions
Case Width: 36mm (excluding crown)

Lug-to-Lug: 42mm

Lug Width: 18mm

Remarks

History
Founded in 1875, Bulova became a major force in American watchmaking and was especially influential during the mid-20th century. Known for their innovative movements and forward-looking designs, Bulova produced a range of mechanical watches during the 1970s that reflected the era’s vibrant aesthetic and technical ambition.

The watch will be carefully packaged and shipped with full tracking and insurance for peace of mind.
Please review the pictures thoroughly before bidding. I strive to provide the most accurate representation of the watch from all angles.
