1943 BULOVA Officer Wristwatch Rare Black Dial Swiss Cal 10BS 15J Vintage Watch
We are SECOND HAND HOROLOGY, thank you for looking! This is a rare version of the Bulova Officer wristwatch from 1943 due to it being a black dial, as the white dial is more common for this watch. In all black and gold, this vintage wristwatch is gorgeous and very eye-catching. The black dial is in in good condition, showing a light patina, and a lovely shiny finish. The Breguet numerals still retain a slight amount of their original radium, emitting only a very fair glow, while the syringe-style gold hands are still highly luminous- they glow very brightly! The minute track and sub-second track are gold, and the sub-second hand is stick-style with a lollipop end. The dial is signed BULOVA, and below 6 o'clock, SS from SWISS remains. The 25.4 x 28.7mm tonneau case has a beautiful 10K rolled gold plate bezel and lugs, while the case back is stainless steel.

The glass crystal is likely the original, and it does show a small scratch just below 11 o'clock. It comes on a black leather two-piece strap with a gold buckle. The Swiss movement is caliber 10BS with 15 jewels and has a 45-hour power reserve. It is a great time-keeper.

This rare black dial Bulova Officer wristwatch is a great collection piece for a Bulova collector, or any collector seeking out rare watches. It is also a great watch to wear on special occasions or to dress up a business casual look.

IMPORTANT - Please be prepared to stand behind any offer you make. Once we accept an offer, it takes the product off of the market for us AND other buyers. If you are considering making an offer and would like to know if we would accept a price, please simply message us and ask PRIOR to making the offer.

We ask that you please make a formal offer only once you are committed to the offer. 10K Rolled Gold Plate Bezel. Case Dimensions: 25.4 x 28.7.

Case Width with Crown: 27.1. Case Lug to Lug: 36.6 Case Thickness: 9.3. Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men's watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown.

In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women's watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.

We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws.

Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust lighting when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that. The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended. Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

It will be carefully packed. Please view our other listings. If this item is a watch, unless otherwise noted, it is keeping accurate time over a 2-4-hour time period. We specialize in watches that are 20-100 years old, and as such, these items are previously worn, and the quality of the item WILL reflect that. Expect for a vintage timepiece to have blemishes...

This is part of what gives these amazing pieces their charm. Further, unless a watch specifically says that it has been recently serviced, expect that at some point in time, this timepiece will need a professional servicing in order to run and keep excellent time, which is also part of the experience of owning any mechanical watch. If an extremely accurate, worry-free experience is what you are seeking, we would recommend purchasing a new quartz watch. Very few, if any, vintage watches will keep as accurate time as a modern quartz watch. We do our absolute best to take accurate photographs of our items and to show any blemishes.

Examples of common characteristics of a vintage timepiece are: -imperfections on the crystal -imperfections on case -imperfections on the lugs -unless stated that the strap is new, the leather is often quite old and may need replacing in the future -metal bracelets may not include all of the links that the watch originally may have come with, but can be replaced with a bracelet or strap of your choosing. If the item is a piece of vintage jewelry, be aware that the item may have some minor blemishes such as: -missing stones (view photos, we will NEVER photoshop in a missing stone or piece) -minor scratches or discoloration -fading of plating -fading of paint. We do our best to take accurate photos and provide accurate descriptions.

We want this purchasing experience to be pleasant and surprise-free. Vintage and antique items, unless "new old stock", have been around the block a time or two. Thank you for your business! We hope to see you return in the future!
