Bulova Wrist Alarm c.1967
Bulova Wrist Alarm c.1967
This Bulova alarm watch is as classically styled as they come. With luminous dauphine hands, subdued 12 & 6 numerals only, and a beautifully painted dial, they simply don’t come much better.
A caseback engraving is the only downside to this piece (someone must have gotten it as a gift in 1998 when the watch was 30 years old), but outside of that you have one fantastic alarm watch and collectible Bulova in front of you.

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.
[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.]
