A small two-tone dress watch with no decoration beyond the metals themselves. The dial is champagne, the bezel and markers are gold-toned, and the case and bracelet are worked in the lighter metal with gold-tone links set into them. Case and Wrist Presence The case is compact with a narrow round gold-tone bezel and a smooth lighter-metal surround that flows straight into the bracelet, so there is no visible lug. That integrated shape is what makes a small watch look deliberate rather than merely little. The crown is gold-toned and sits flush at three. Dial and Legibility Champagne, plain, with applied gold batons at every hour and the Bulova name across the upper half. Three slim gold hands. Gold markers on a champagne dial is a low-contrast combination and it is deliberately so – this is a watch meant to look like jewellery from a distance and to be read up close. The applied markers stand off the surface, which is what carries them. Movement and Functions Quartz, hours, minutes and seconds. No calendar. A small dial with a date window would give up more than it gained. Bracelet and Fit A two-tone bracelet in which the gold-tone sections form curved bars across the lighter links, sized by removing links. Because the pattern repeats along the band, sizing shifts where the gold falls on the wrist; ask for links to come out evenly from both sides of the clasp. Who This Watch Suits Someone with a slim wrist who wants a small, plain watch that goes with both gold and silver jewellery. It is the opposite of a statement piece and it will not date. Care and Maintenance The gold-toned sections are plated and will wear before the rest, particularly at the clasp. Keep the watch dry, wipe it after wearing, and avoid chlorinated water. Have a watchmaker fit the battery so the caseback seal is reseated rather than simply pressed back on. About the Brand Bulova has been making watches since 1875.
