Bulova Art Deco Grey Dial

Every time I fly into New York's La Guardia Airport and grab a cab to Manhattan, I glance left shortly after we leave the airport to get a glimpse of the old Bulova Building, executed in greystone, that sits just off the highway. The Art Deco style of the building speaks of a bygone era as does this grey dial Bulova we are displaying here. An architect customer of our pointed out that he feels there is a very architectural element to this particular watch. I guess it is the cross-bow case elements contrasted against the complimentary Roman Numerals at the cardinal positions interspersed with the red chapter markers at every other chapter. The "Spider Web" seconds bit adds an element as well. When all is said and done this is a really fun watch that could be worn by a man or a woman, even though it started out life strictly as a man's watch. The yellow gold filled case measures 24 mm side to side (not including the crown) by 37 mm lug to lug, and it has a stainless steel back for hypo-allergenic purposes, strength, and longevity. Make sure you take a look at the "Zoom-In" photos to see how clean the 17 jewel movement is in this mid 1930s wristwatch. It is just amazing!


We have matched a nice vintage grey, stitched, leather band to carry the color of the dial around the wrist for an integral look. Its really a great buy for some lucky soul. Remember all of our timepieces come with a one year warranty, for parts and labor, so that you may buy with confidence. Is this one calling your name.
