Atelier Note
A round gold-plated case with a stepped bezel and fluted caseband, a white dial with Roman numerals. A 1990s quartz Bulova, on grained black leather. Checked, delivered with its Atelier Victor invoice serving as a certificate.
A 1990s Bulova, gold-plated and with a Roman numeral dial
Bulova was founded in New York in 1875 by Joseph Bulova; in 1960, the house marketed the Accutron, a watch regulated by a tuning fork. The stylised tuning fork from its logo is printed on the dial of this piece and engraved on its caseback.
The round gold-plated case measures 33.5mm in diameter, 39mm lug-to-lug and 7.4mm thick. Its bezel rises in several polished steps, and its fluted caseband, lined with fine vertical grooves, catches the light in profile. The gold-tone crown sits at 3 o'clock; the caseback is steel.
The white dial bears six black Roman numerals, alternating with dots at the other hours, around a railway minute track. The Bulova logo sits below 12 o'clock, the word Quartz above 6 o'clock; two black hands, hours and minutes, stand out clearly against this light background.
The watch is powered by a quartz movement and fitted on a grained black leather strap, closed by a gold-tone pin buckle. At 33.5mm in diameter, it can be worn on a men's wrist as well as a feminine wrist.
Three points to note

Fluted caseband — Vertical grooves on the sides of the gold-plated case.
02

03

Frequently asked questions
What is Bulova?
A watchmaking house founded in New York in 1875 by Joseph Bulova. In 1960, it marketed the Accutron, a watch regulated by a tuning fork; the tuning fork logo appears on the dial and caseback of this piece.
How does a quartz watch work?
It does not need winding: a battery powers the movement, regulated by a quartz crystal. The crown is used only to set the time.
Is the strap original?
No. The black grained leather strap and its gold-tone pin buckle were fitted as replacements; the 18mm Lug width allows the strap to be changed. The crown is original.
Is this watch suitable for a slim or larger wrist?
With a 33.5mm diameter, 39mm Lug-to-lug, and 7.4mm thickness, it wears equally well on a man's or woman's wrist.
How do delivery and payment work?
The piece is shipped with tracking and insurance by a trusted carrier, to a collection point or home address depending on the destination. Delivery is complimentary.
