Vintage Bulova Accutron Quartz 'Dual-Day' with Day & Date with 10k Rolled Gold Plated Case c.1978

Bulova was founded by Joseph Bulova, an immigrant from Bohemia (now part of the Czech Republic). The brand became famous for its innovative designs and precision timekeeping.

One of Bulova's most notable contributions to the watch industry was the introduction of the Accutron watch in 1960. The Accutron was the world's first electronic watch, utilising a tuning fork instead of traditional balance wheels.

What’s on Offer

Here we have a very clean-looking Bulova Accutron Quartz Dual-Day dating to approximately 1978.

We believe it to be a 25-year service presentation watch as it is in a gold-plated case and has an engraving on the case back. This piece offers the option of a dress watch while being super casual as its not too blingy. The dial contains gilt hands, markers and a date window which all tie in nicely against a silver 'ring' dial. Also on the dial is a unique logo with the number 25, we have not been able to find out anything much about this particular dial but think it maybe a 25 year presentation watch!

The watch is currently paired with a Speidel U.S.A expandable bracelet which is gold plated and period correct. The caseback displays engravings relating to its original owner and the date it was probably issued.

Regarding the condition of this watch, overall it is very good for its age. Minor signs of wear such as blemishes and light scratches are present on the case and caseback. The plating on the bracelet has been subject to some wear over time.
