While most collectors think of brands like Vulcain and Jaeger-LeCoultre when thinking of alarm watches, Bulova was also a major player. This particular example dates from 1960 and is powered by Bulova's in-house alarm movement, the Cal. 11 AERC. With a handsome 34mm diameter, its patinated dial, and that blued alarm hand, this Bulova is full of charm.
Condition: Superb, the watch is in very good overall condition. The acrylic crystal and crown gaskets are new. The hour and minute hands have been restored. The movement has been checked, this Bulova runs perfectly. Water resistance not tested.
Watchmaker's warranty : 6 months
This movement is special — there are two crowns but only one barrel. To wind the watch and the alarm, wind the crown at 2 o'clock. To set the time, pull the crown at 2 o'clock and set the time as usual. To set the alarm, pull the crown at 4 o'clock. Please note it cannot be set in reverse. To activate the alarm, pull the crown at 4 o'clock. To deactivate it, leave it in the initial position. When the alarm is activated, winding is not available.
