Nice original-looking mid-century Bulova dress watch with plenty of character. The manual-wind movement was wound during inspection and the watch is currently running, including movement of the small seconds hand.


The watch has not been tested for long-term timekeeping accuracy or power reserve and has not been serviced by us. It is being sold as a vintage running watch in the condition shown.
