- CASE: CLASSIC ALL-STEEL CASE MEASURING A HEALTHY 34.2mm NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED DOUBLE CROWNS BY 41.5mm LUG TO LUG. THIS CASE IS IN CLEAN SHAPE WITH SHARP LUGS AND WELL DEFINED CHAMFERS. SHE WEARS REALLY QUITE NICE DUE TO THE LONGER LUG TO LUG AND THINNER BEZEL/WIDE DIAL WHICH MAKES THIS WEAR MORE LIKE A SOLID 35mm PIECE.
- DIAL: THIS 2-TONE SILVER CLASSIC DIAL IS A SERIOUS LOOKER. VERY SIMPLE WITH ITS 2 LINES OF TEXT AND APPLIED ARROW/ARABIC MARKERS. THE AGED TRITIUM ON THE HANDS AND DIAL LOOK SUPER AWESOME WITH JUST THE PERFECT HINT OF PATINA. YOU GOTTA LOVE THE SQUIGGLY BLUE'D ALARM HAND WITH THE RED TIP. THE DAUPHINE HANDSET IS IN REALLY SHARP SHAPE. SOME MINOR EVEN TONING THROUGHOUT WHICH GIVES THIS ONE THE PERFECT VINTAGE LOOK.
- MOVEMENT: THIS GENTLEMAN RUNS ON AN IN-HOUSE BULOVA 11AERC 17 JEWEL ALARM MOVEMENT. REALLY INTERESTING HOW THESE WORK. THE TOP CROWN WINDS BOTH THE MOVEMENT AND SIMULTANEOUSLY THE ALARM POWER-RESERVE. IN ADDITION IT'S USED TO SET THE TIME. THE BOTTOM CROWN WHEN PUSHED IN ROTATES THE ALARM HAND TO SET IT, AND WHEN PULLED OUT IT ENGAGES THE ALARM. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT WATCH IS RUNNING STRONG WITH GOOD TIMEKEEPING AND PERFECT FUNCTIONING OF THE ALARM.
WATCH COMES MOUNTED ON A STITCHLESS HONEY LEATHER STRAP. THESE BULOVA WRIST ALARMS ARE SOME OF THE CLASSIEST PIECES THE BRAND MADE IN THE MID TO LATE 60s. THEY COMBINED GREAT FUNCTIONALITY IN A CLEAN AND STYLISH PACKAGE. THIS ONE IS IN AWESOME CONDITION AND IS READY TO WEAR AND ENJOY.
