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.
