About the Item

For your consideration is this wonderfully stylish Art Deco manual gentleman's wrist watch by the US watch company Bulova. This watch is powered by a good-quality American-made BULOVA 21-jewel 10AX hand-wound mechanical movement. The 10AX was manufactured from 1940 to 1942 and features a Breguet hairspring, as used on other high-end watches such as Rolex and noted for aiding more consistent timekeeping throughout the duration of the wind. This particular 21-jewel movement would have been one of Bulova’s top-of-the-range power plants of the era and is stamped with the date-code symbol for 1940. Condition is excellent having not only been recently serviced but ultrasonically cleaned and fitted with a brand new leather strap. The outside is stamped BULOVA 10K GOLD FILLED, plus its serial number starting with ‘0’. This indicates, on a Bulova of this era and with this particular movement, a manufacture date of 1940. The inside is signed BULOVA FIFTH AVE NEW YORK. Dimensions: Width: 25mm, excluding the crown. Length: 40mm including lugs. Thickness: 10mm, including crystal. Face/dial: 17mm x 24mm. Strap: 16mm wide, tapering to 14mm at the buckle. Wrist fitting: The watch should fit a wrist size of between 160mm and 190mm. SIZE 25mm (1 inch) wide, excluding crown x 40mm total length. This watch has been recently and professionally serviced and restored and so is working very well and keeping good time. This watch is perfect both for everyday wear and for adding to the collections. A lovely watch any gentleman would love to wear. The case back is free of any engravings, shows no wear-through to the gold. Dispatched in a presentation box.
