In 1875, a young Czech immigrant named Joseph Bulova set up shop in New York City, and a legendary American watch brand was born. Bulova was trained as a jeweler, and his expertise carried over into his watchmaking career, which began around 1911 with boudoir clocks and pocket watches, and soon evolved to include what was then one of the latest and most fashionable technological innovations: the wristwatch. Bulova introduced its first line of wristwatches in 1919. The company grew and prospered, and soon early radio and television ads were declaring, "America runs on Bulova time."
In the 1950s, continuing its legacy of innovation, Bulova introduced Accutron, the first electronic watch, and the first breakthrough in timekeeping technology in over 300 years. The Accutron timing mechanism was later adapted for use by NASA computers, and a Bulova timer was even placed on the moon to control transmissions of data. Bulova timepieces have kept official time aboard Air Force One and have also served as official timepieces for U.S. Olympic teams. Today, Bulova maintains its tradition of excellence in technology and design, offering a diverse collection of beautiful precision timepieces for every occasion.
This Bulova watch, inspired by vintage design from the Classic Collection, achieves a tailored, understated look that's always in style. It features a 3-hand, calendar date movement with a two-tone stainless steel case and bracelet, and a domed mineral crystal. The watch is water-resistant to 30 meters and backed by a 3-year limited warranty.
The large round steel case is showcased on a handsome and durable steel link bracelet with goldtone accents and a push-button foldover clasp. The silver dial, accentuated by a goldtone bezel, has a classic look, with goldtone hands and markers, a sweep seconds hand, and a date display at the three o'clock position. Luminous coating on the hands and markers provides nighttime visibility.
This Bulova watch offers Japanese quartz precision and water resistance to 30 meters, making it a sophisticated accent for any occasion. The polished steel and gold plate construction gives it a shining, elegant appearance. From the brand's beginnings in 1875 to its legacy of innovation and timekeeping excellence, Bulova continues to deliver beautiful, precise timepieces that capture the essence of American watchmaking.
