"Look for that Bulova difference"
This STUNNING timepiece is a vintage Bulova 23 "W" -23 Jewels Selfwinding- wristwatch dated from 1958, one of "the greatest achievement in a century".
It is an automatic watch with regarded as being possibly the best movement ever made by Bulova, this would have been a non-certified "chronometer" grade watch. The 10BPAC 23 jewels movement is adjusted to 6 positions (heat, cold, isochronism, 3 positions), sweep second and U.S.A. made.
It has a beautiful champagne dial with gold Arabic Numerals, applied hour marks and matching hands; bold minute marks. The dial is signed with Bulova name and "23 Jewels SELFWINDING" as well.
Very UNIQUE round case with fancy lugs design, 10K rolled gold plated bezel and stainless steel back.
As the original, this watch is coming with a vintage black "Genuine Leather" two-pieces strap. In original Bulova display box!
After 60 years, it is still in LOVELY condition. Runs very well and keeps great time.

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men's watches typically measure between 29-36mm (some larger, some smaller) wide excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women's watches from the 1900s-1970s were also somewhat smaller than today’s offerings in many cases. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.
We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust light, when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.
The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended.
See all the photos, feel free to ask questions if you have any.
It will be carefully packed.
