How do I identify my Bulova watch?
To identify your Bulova watch, first look at the back of the case. You should find some variation of the watchmaker's name on the inside or outside. Then, find the symbol or four-digit code that represents the style. You can use an authoritative online resource to match the symbol or number to the manufacturing year and then research the model name from there. On 1stDibs, find a selection of expertly vetted Bulova watches.
