Go to Bulova Collection or Bulova Accutron Swiss Made

Since its foundation in 1875, Bulova has always had a place in history and even today, balanced between the United States of America and Switzerland, it presents itself as a very prestigious watch brand.

Bulova has always proposed itself with two distinct brands: Bulova Accutron, Swiss and exclusively mechanical, and Bulova, with a technological and cosmopolitan spirit, which presents the best of current electronics. Both respond to a basic philosophy that demands only excellence in each specific representative sector.

BULOVA ACCUTRON

One of the greatest successes in the entire history of watchmaking: Bulova Accutron and its slogan “The watch of the Space Age”, in its characteristic squelette appearance that allows a glimpse of tuning forks and electronic circuits in conjunction and harmony with the mechanical parts. A true status symbol, in a magical combination that is still unrepeatable today.

The Bulova Accutron caliber, a technological marvel of the 60s with a level of micromechanics and electronics that was science fiction for the time, which still amazes today for its precision and for the particular and apparent continuity of the seconds hand that jumps more than 320 times per second.

THE HISTORY OF BULOVA

• In 1919, Bulova launched the first complete line of men's ruby ​​wristwatches
• In 1926, its president essentially invented what we know today as “the time signal.”
• In 1931 the first electric clocks were invented by Bulova and are still displayed in train stations throughout the United States.
• On July 1, 1941, Bulova transformed world marketing with the first-ever television advertisement during a game of “America Runs On Bulova Time.” Price: $9.
• In 1958, well before Accutron technology was commercialized and mass-produced, it was taken into consideration by NASA, which deemed it suitable for inclusion in the space project, starting with the Vanguard 1 satellite, launched into orbit that very year.
• In 1967, by then synonymous with cutting-edge technology and precision, Bulova Accutron was adopted by Air Force One, the aircraft of the President of the United States, confirming the high symbolic and concrete value attributed to the brand. Accutron or ACCU-TRON stands for "Accuracy through Electronics".
• Accutron Watch 2021:In 2020, sixty years after the first-ever launch of Bulova Accutron, the Accutron watch debuted as a standalone brand, thus separating itself from Bulova while maintaining a premium positioning within the Citizen Group.
• The 2021 Accutron introduced an innovative electrostatic technology to watchmaking, which took ten years to develop and requires advanced manufacturing processes.

BULOVA MOON WATCH

The history of this collection dates back to the 60s but the Bulova Moon Watch became famous in 1971, when during the Apollo 15 mission, astronaut Dave Scott landed on the moon with a Bulova watch on his wrist. This chronograph was designed to land on the moon and withstand lunar conditions.

In 2016, Bulova introduced a re-edition of the Lunar Pilot, better known as the Bulova Moonwatch in the references 96B251, 96B258 and 98a186.

ASTRONAUT

Accutron Astronaut Limited Edition, a stunning men's watch collection produced in 2007 by BULOVA to pay homage to the original Bulova Astronaut model of the 1960s. Swiss movement, stainless steel, automatic, skeleton rotor and GMT movement, 21 jewels, beveled crystal with raised sapphire, water resistant to 100 meters, . The case back of this series is numbered and engraved with a signature of Buzz Aldrin.

BULOVA - SPACEVIEW

The first Accutron model, called the Spaceview 214 features its famous open dial showing off the high-tech movement , also deviating from traditional watch design with the lack of stem and crown on the side of the watch placed on the back of the case. The Accutron has been the cornerstone of Bulova's portfolio ever since.

In 2010, its 50th anniversary, Bulova released a limited edition replica of the Spaceview with a modern movement. The new Bulova Precisionist technology is capable of oscillating the quartz at a frequency as much as 8 times faster than a traditional electronic watch.

SEA KING AUTOMATIC 1000M

The Bulova Sea King watch collection continues a series of marine-themed watches Bulova produced over half a century ago. They are Bulova “professional” dive watches, rated ISO 6425 and water resistant to 300 meters or more. While most other Bulova Sea King watches contain Bulova Accutron II UHF quartz movements (highly accurate and sweeping second hands), this limited edition Bulova Sea King 96B226 contains an automatic mechanical movement.

REGULATOR

The Regulator has been a classic in watchmaking since the dawn of time, and consists of indicating the time through two separate dials for the hours and minutes respectively.

The name derives from the fact that they were often used by watchmakers or other professionals who needed to check the time, and therefore relied on particularly precise and well-finished instruments.

Bulova, always sensitive to the allure of Signature Watchmaking, created its own Regulator in 2006, beginning its 131st year since its foundation, and did so with the model 63F80, in a numbered and extremely limited series of only 399 pieces.

The movement is a Dubois-Depraz, used – in addition to Bulova – also by other companies, such as Hublot or Baume & Mercier. The base is an ETA 2892/A2, reworked by the Fribourg manufacture with the addition of the regulator module called DD 14070 Régulateur.

Each of the 399 Bulova 63F80s produced has in fact obtained the COSC certification, highly sought-after in the technical field.

BULOVA CALIBRATOR

The world’s first automatic watch that gives you the power to fine-tune its accuracy, the Bulova Accutron Calibrator, featuring our proprietary EFAS external fine-tuning system, lets you check the accuracy of your mechanical watch simply and without the need for a technician. The result?

BULOVA MARINE STAR

The Marine Star Collection includes watches with a diver look with the charm and elegance that distinguish the Bulova brand . The same design and steel materials, only the colors change; quartz movement with 6 hands, water resistant up to 100 meters, screw case back, 45 mm case.

GEMINI COLLECTION

The Gemini collection takes its name from NASA's pioneering space program, which paved the way for the Apollo mission to the Moon. The Gemini GMT, on the other hand, features a reinterpretation of the classic dial in a more modern key. Dynamic and refined models thanks to the use of elegant patterns, applied numerals and colored accents, all with a dual time zone to always guarantee maximum punctuality.

Some of these models are equipped with the prestigious ETA Valjoux 7750 automatic movement
