The Heritage & History This 1968 timepiece is a stunning representation of the "Space Age" design movement that swept through the late 1960s. Moving away from the soft curves of the early decade, Bulova embraced sharp, geometric silhouettes like this rare hexagonal case. Marked with the M8 date code on the caseback, this watch was produced during a pinnacle year for Bulova as they were concurrently providing timing technology for NASA’s Apollo missions.
Design & Aesthetic
Geometric Silhouette: The standout hexagonal case provides a bold, architectural look that remains remarkably modern today.
The Dial: A clean, minimalist silver sunray dial features sleek "Baton" indexes, perfectly capturing the minimalist luxury of the era.
The Crystal: Protected by a high-clarity acrylic crystal that follows the unique hexagonal lines of the case.
The Bracelet: Complemented by a refined silver-tone bracelet with a secure jewelry clasp, designed to sit elegantly on the wrist like a piece of fine jewelry.
