Description

Step back into the golden age of American watchmaking with this vintage Bulova 23 Jewels Selfwinding dress watch. Crafted in the late 1950s to early 1960s, it features Bulova’s signature radial sunburst dial — a crisp, textured pattern that radiates beautifully in the light. Applied gold indices, dauphine hands, and a domed acrylic crystal bring classic mid-century elegance to the forefront.

 

Powered by Bulova’s premium 23-jewel automatic movement, this model was marketed as one of the brand’s most accurate and durable offerings of its era. The sculpted lugs and gold-tone case give it a refined silhouette, while the modern brown leather strap makes it easy to wear today.

 

Whether you’re a collector looking for a clean example of a heritage Bulova or simply someone drawn to understated vintage style, this piece delivers charm, craftsmanship, and everyday versatility.
