Bulova Chronograph ref. 31000 c.1972
Deep navy blue, reverse panda goodness.
This ‘72 Valjoux-powered chronograph was Bulova’s base model chronograph, and one of the few without a rotating indicator bezel. As a nice change of pace for a timer of that period, the dial presence and slightly funky case shape catches the eye and pleases the wrist.
With the same motor as most of the other Bulova chronos, the reliability and value of this entry timepiece is well worth it. Paired with a fine stainless steel milanese-style mesh bracelet, we definitely think you’ll enjoy this beauty as much as we do.

[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.]
