Watertite
Cal. 10BCC
One of Bulova's earliest waterproof wristwatches, this military-style 1949 Watertite is a very cool piece to add to a watch collection!
The Swiss movement is a caliber 10BCC with 17 jewels, and is signed Bulova Watch Co. It has a center second complication.
The dial is an attractive beige color with a mild patina. The Arabic numerals and syringe-style hour and minute hands are luminous, and the central second is a pretty red. The dial is signed Bulova and Swiss with a minute track, all in black. The stainless steel case has been designed to be one of Bulova's first waterproof wristwatches. The replacement crown is signed "W".
It is coming on a plain black two-piece leather strap with a silver buckle.
At 74 years old, this watch runs and keeps great time!
A unique piece to add to a watch-lover's collection, this 1949 Bulova Watertite is a very handsome wristwatch!

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.
