This 1971 Bulova Sea King is in excellent vintage condition. The automatic movement has been bench-tested and is running strong with a 10-hour+ power reserve.
Crystal: The original acrylic crystal has been hand-polished to a high clarity. It remains clear with only minor, faint age-appropriate wisps visible under harsh light.
Dial & Hands: The matte black "Whale" dial is in superb original condition with crisp printing and intact tritium lume plots. The silver-tone hands show minimal oxidation.
Case: The solid stainless steel case shows honest wear and "desk diving" marks consistent with a 50-year-old timepiece. No major gouges or dents.
Band: The Speidel USA expansion band has been deep-cleaned and sanitized. It retains excellent tension.
Hardware: Freshly fitted with high-quality 1.8mm stainless steel spring bars for a secure fit.
Note: As with all vintage mechanical timepieces, a professional service (COA) is recommended for daily use and long-term accuracy. Sold as-is, non-water resistant.
