Bulova Wrist Alarm c.1966
Bulova Wrist Alarm c.1966
This Bulova alarm watch is as classically styled as they come. With luminous dauphine hands, cripsly raised numerals & indices, and a beautifully contrasting dial, they simply didn’t come styled much better.
This variant is the earliest of the ‘60s models that came in this case style, and is probably the most attractive overall. With the only real aging showing up on the indices and hands, this timepiece brings together vintage and condition quite well compared to most of the models you’ll run into. Paired on a new, ultra fine mesh bracelet, this is a combination you can wear on any occasion.

Function - This watch is wound manually with the top crown. It is recommended to wind the crown 10-15 times to typically give an initial power reserve to last throughout the day. Avoid overwinding the watch once it feels tight. To initialize the alarm, rotate the bottom crown clockwise until the alarm hand points at the desired alarm time and then pull the crown out.
[All vintage watches are expected to function as described. However, due to age and generally unknown service history (unless otherwise stated), these watches may not keep time as accurately as new or quartz (battery) watches. This is completely normal and does not indicate that there is a major problem. Like your automobile, all mechanical watches will likely need to be serviced at some point in time. Please keep this in mind, as there is no guarantee regarding when these vintage watches may need standard maintenance. Every watch sold by Buying On Time is done so with the expectation that it is not currently in need of service or repair, unless noted. We guarantee that all watches sold are accurately described and in the stated condition when they leave our hands.]
