Bulova “23” 23-jewel automatic dating to 1959 with a gorgeous tropical dial and unusually large tonneau case size for the period, measuring 35mm wide, 40mm lug-to-lug, 10mm thick and 18mm lug width. Watch is in very nice condition for its age, sets, winds and keeps decent time, but is missing its seconds hand, which shouldn’t be an issue as it’s a fairly standard item (see reference photo). Original dagger hour and minute hands still retain their original lume and lume plots are still in place on the dial.

A bit of research revealed:

The 1950s were a golden era for automatic watches. Self-winding mechanisms were gaining popularity due to their convenience and mechanical sophistication. Bulova capitalized on this trend by introducing the Bulova 23 series in 1954. The “23” in the name wasn’t arbitrary; it highlighted the watch’s 23-jewel self-winding movement. In watchmaking, jewels—typically synthetic rubies—are used at friction points in the movement to reduce wear and enhance accuracy. A 23-jewel movement was considered high-end, placing the Bulova 23 among the elite timepieces of its day.

Key Features:
  • 23-Jewel Automatic Movement: The heart of the watch was its 23-jewel self-winding movement, known for its reliability and precision. The movement harnessed the natural motion of the wearer’s wrist to keep the watch wound.

  • Durability: Equipped with Bulova’s “DuraPower” mainspring, made from an alloy resistant to deformation, the watch was built to last. The “Shock-Resist” feature protected the movement from everyday bumps and knocks.

  • Anti-Magnetic Properties: Magnetic fields can adversely affect a watch’s accuracy. The Bulova 23 was designed with anti-magnetic components to maintain its precision even in environments with magnetic interference.

  • Water Resistance: While not designed for deep-sea diving, the watch offered adequate water resistance for everyday activities, protecting it from splashes and brief immersion.

  • Elegance and Versatility: With its classic design, the watch was suitable for both formal occasions and daily wear. The gold case and bracelet options allowed wearers to choose a style that best suited their personal taste.
