Description

Vintage Bulova wrist watch, 1939.

The watch has a 17-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the date symbol for 1939.

The watch measures 20mm wide excluding the winding crown and 29mm high excluding the lugs. Originally it was designed as a man’s watch but, with today’s fashions, it could be worn by either a man or a lady. The case is 10k rolled gold while the back is stainless steel. The case is in good condition, some light marking if you look closely. The inside of the case back is signed with the Bulova name.

The curved lens is in good condition.

The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands. Again, a little marking if you look very closely.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Date of Manufacture

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this Vintage Bulova Wristwatch to the 1930s.

Please contact us regarding international shipping.

All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.

FAQs

Art Deco wristwatches from the 1930s are characterised by geometric case shapes, stylised numerals, and elegant engraving, reflecting the modernist design movements of the interwar period.

Timepieces from this era typically featured gold-filled or plated brass cases, mineral glass crystals, mechanical manual-wind movements, and genuine leather straps.

Authenticity is verified by examining hallmarked case interiors, matching movement serial numbers with manufacturer archives, and checking for period-correct fonts and dial layouts.

Pairing a vintage rectangular dress watch with minimalist tailoring or smart-casual attire highlights its architectural lines as a sophisticated focal point.

To preserve mechanical integrity, keep the watch away from moisture and magnetic fields, avoid over-winding, and have it serviced by a professional horologist every few years.
