Men’s Vintage Bulova Sport Timer Watch with Navy Blue Crosshair Dial  - Ref. 971 - c.1970

Bulova is a world-famous watch brand, founded in 1875 and currently owned by Japanese conglomerate, Citizen Watch Co.

Throughout the years, Bulova have displayed an unparalleled drive for perfection, efficiency and high quality craftsmanship. 

The brand has continued to evolve , making innovations in both design and technology within the watchmaking industry, and beyond. Bulova’s advancements have included everything from pioneering standardized production of watches to designing and manufacturing the world’s first fully electronic watch (the Bulova Accutron.)  

On offer here is a rare men’s Bulova manual winding ‘Sport Timer’ model wrist watch first sold in about 1969 and this example dating to 1970. A stunningly attractive watch that features a mid-sized stainless steel case (33.5mm) screw down back and acrylic crystal. 

The 'electric' blue, crosshair dial has a striking modernist design, with bright orange five minute markers and a matching orange sweeping seconds hand along with elongated white hour indexes. These features sold this watch to us immediately as it looks so stunning on the wrist (and at VWS we are suckers for funky dials)!

The case back is stamped with the serial number 3-220061 and the inside case back of the piece is marked LL. 

This fun, funky watch is supplied on a brand new Hirsch silicon rubber strap which perfectly compliments the eye catching  and colourful retro styling of the piece or if you prefer this can always be swapped for a strap of your choice.
