DescriptionVintage Bulova Japanese Quartz Alarm Watch — Striking Red & Silver Geometric Dial — Presentation BoxThis is the sort of vintage Bulova that immediately distinguishes itself from the ordinary dress watch.The dial is divided into alternating deep burgundy-red and brushed silver quadrants, producing a bold geometric composition that changes dramatically with the light. Applied rectangular hour markers with contrasting black centers surround the dial, while gold-tone hour and minute hands provide another layer of color and period character.Look closely and the details become even more interesting.The dial is clearly signed BULOVA and JAPAN, and the watch contains a Japanese quartz movement with an alarm complication. The movement photographs are included intentionally so the buyer can see the mechanism and controls rather than simply taking the description on faith.The watch presents as a distinctive piece of Japanese-made Bulova design—part timepiece, part period industrial design.Also included is the wonderfully graphic red-and-cream presentation box shown in the photographs. Its checkerboard/block pattern complements the watch remarkably well. The box shows age-related edge and surface wear, all photographed closely rather than concealed. The box alone weighs approximately 0.357 lb (5.7 oz) on our scale.Condition: Pre-owned vintage condition. The dial remains particularly attractive, with strong color and visible sunburst/brushed finishing. Please examine the enlarged photographs carefully; they form an important part of the condition description. The presentation box shows visible age and edge wear.Functions: Quartz timekeeping with alarm complication.
Dial: Burgundy/red and silver geometric quartered design.
Hands: Gold tone with contrasting seconds/alarm indication.
Markers: Applied rectangular markers with black centers.
Movement: Japanese quartz alarm movement.
Dial marking: BULOVA / JAPAN.
Included: Watch and presentation box shown.This isn’t a modern reproduction of a vintage aesthetic. It is an unusual surviving Bulova from the period when Japanese quartz technology and adventurous case-and-dial design were being combined into watches that looked unmistakably different from their mechanical predecessors.A particularly strong choice for the Bulova collector, vintage quartz collector, or anyone who appreciates unconventional period design.
