Bulova Two-Tone Dress | Constellation-Style | White Dial | Date | Ref C987360

Description

Bulova has been building watches in the United States since 1875. By the late 20th century the brand had established itself as a maker of well-built, design-forward dress watches that could stand alongside Swiss names at a more accessible tier. This two-tone dress piece is that philosophy made wearable.

The case is classic two-tone — stainless steel body with a gold-tone bezel that carries engraved Roman accents. The dial is a clean white lacquer with applied gold baton indices at every hour and a date window at 3 o'clock. The Bulova tuning-fork logo sits above centre with BULOVA script, the design cue the brand has carried since its Accutron era.

The integrated two-tone bracelet alternates brushed steel outer links with polished gold-tone centre links, each carrying the Bulova logo embossed into the metal. The caseback carries reference C987360 and the rehaut shows serial 988015. A neat gents dress watch with confirmed reference and serial.

Historical Significance

Bulova's two-tone dress references from the late 20th century took direct inspiration from Swiss Constellation and Datejust design language but maintained the brand's own identity with the tuning-fork logo and distinctive bracelet link signature. For buyers who want the two-tone Swiss silhouette at an American brand price point with confirmed case reference and serial, this is exactly the watch.
