Bulova Commemorative Automatic

Relative to the many historical watchmakers still in existence today, Bulova has experienced profound changes and upheaval over the years. What began as an American watch manufacturer based in New York City is today a subsidiary of Japanese watchmaking giant Citizen. While Bulova was once primarily known as a manufacturer of fine American Decostyle wristwatches, many made in the ‘tank’ style, by the 1970s the company was making flashier, more fashion-forward timepieces. This Bulova, in NOS condition with its original box and papers, typifies the company’s aspirations at the beginning of the 1970s. As evidenced by the inscription on the caseback, this Bulova was gifted as a commemorative timepiece to a long-standing employee of Central Federal Savings in 1973. Maker: Bulova
