A stunning 1951 Bulova Viking men's watch, featuring a 15 jewel 10BT movement that has been inspected, fully serviced, and timegrapher regulated to ensure accuracy.
Already incredibly rare, this Viking is in exceptional condition, AND it comes with the original case too! The 10k RGP case (25.7mm excluding the crown) is in very fine condition, with only the very faintest age wear. The fancy scrolling lugs are the standout feature here; they catch the eye and refuse to let go. The dial has aged incredibly beneath the original mineral glass crystal. The numerals are reflective gold and and all dial print is crisp and legible. The gold Modern hands are also in great shape, as is the small second hand.
The steel caseback is in mint condition, it looks as though it's never been worn and it snaps firmly to the case, as it should. The 10BT movement is highly accurate with a healthy amplitude. The Viking comes on lightly padded and stitched genuine leather bands in a rich coffee hue that accents the case nicely. Bulova Vikings are so very hard to find these days and to find one in such fine condition WITH its original case is pure luck. Grab this one while you can!
Please note that all mechanical watches, including automatics, require occasional winding in order to function properly.
