Bulova Senator Automatic

The 1970s was a golden age for creative industrial design, with watchmaking being particularly fertile ground for innovation. Oversized cases, bright colors, strange complications — the confluence of the hippie movement with new sporting and leisure activities resulted in specialist timepieces whose fun-loving designs are finding new life today as beloved vintage goods.  This particular funky ‘70s timepiece is from beloved American-founded brand Bulova. Housed in a 38mm stainless steel cushion case with an integrated multi-link bracelet and a signed blade clasp, an acrylic crystal, a signed crown, and a smooth bezel. It features a cool - vertically brushed slate blue Tritium dial with applied indices, a matching cigarette handset, and a day-date window at 3:00.  Powered by the automatic Bulova Caliber 11AOACB movement, this humble Bulova is a prime example of creative ‘70s watch design that nevertheless remains moderately inconspicuous.  Try it on for size and see what we mean!
