Description

A refined vintage Swiss-made Bulova quartz watch dating to 1981, featuring a warm gold dial with minimalist baton hour markers and a slim, elegant profile.

This piece embodies classic early-1980s dress watch design — understated, balanced, and timeless. The clean two-hand layout and soft gold tones give it a distinctly refined aesthetic that works effortlessly for both everyday wear and more formal styling.

Powered by a reliable Swiss quartz movement with a new battery installed, and protected by a mineral crystal, this is a beautiful example of Bulova’s high-quality Swiss production from the early quartz era.

Condition Notes

Vintage, good working condition. The case and bracelet show light, age-appropriate cosmetic wear consistent with normal use. The crown shows noticeable surface wear and has a slightly rough texture to the touch, though it functions properly and sets the time as intended. Crystal shows light surface wear typical for its age.
