One of Bulova's earliest waterproof wristwatches, with a military style (for military use) during WWII, this is a vintage Bulova “Watertite” watch dated from 1944.
 
It is a manual wind watch powered by an original Bulova movement caliber 10BA, 17 jewels, sweep second, unadjusted, Swiss made.
 
In almost perfect condition, after 75 years, it still has the original champagne dial with luminous Arabic Numerals, bold minute track, luminous matching hands, and the cool red sweep second-hand. The dial is also signed with the Bulova name.
 
“Luminous hands and luminous numerals make this watch even more desired.”

As we say, this watch comes with the original, never worn, bound one-piece leather strap in natural color, also it comes in the original cardboard display box.

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) 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 much smaller than today's offerings. 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 lighting 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.
Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
It will be carefully packed.
