An authentic piece of WWII-era horological history, this 1941 Bulova dress watch features a classic Art Deco curved tank case with sculpted hooded lugs. Stamped on the caseback with a heart touching personalized Christmas gift engraving—"TO HUGH FROM FLO 25/12/41"—it provides a rare, verified snapshot into history from Christmas Day 1941. The champagne-tone dial is set with applied gold-tone Art Deco Arabic numerals, a outer minute track, and a detailed sub-seconds subdial at 6 o'clock. Inside, the watch is powered by a high-grade, Swiss-made Bulova Caliber 9AH 17-jewel manual-wind movement stamped with the 1941 production code. Housed in a gold-filled case paired with a period-correct expandable Speidel style flex-bracelet, this timepiece has been fully serviced and is running accurately.
