Bulova Dress Watch 14K YG W/ Diamonds (Ref. B708) Brown "Dior" Dial, 1972

Dealer description — Craft & Tailored

Founded in New York by Czech immigrant, Joseph Bulova, in 1875, Bulova began as a jewelry and clock repair store before moving into the manufacturing of watch components and jeweled movements in the early 1900s. Over time, the brand would come to be known for its unique and funky watches that were made from the '60s into the '80s. Ranging from colorful diving chronographs to eccentric electric watches like the famous Accutron. This piece, however, was a much more demure, elegant offering that also happened to be cosigned and retailed by the French fashion house, Dior. With an of-the-moment 14k gold case that slots somewhere between tank- and tonneau-shaped, flanked by diamonds and surrounding a dark chocolate brown dial, this is an incredibly cool piece that is going to be unlike anything else out there.
