A vintage 1956 Bulova Wrist Alarm "A" men's watch, featuring a 17 jewel Bulova 12-B movement that has been inspected, fully serviced and regulated to ensure accuracy.

One of the most sought-after models, this mechanical alarm watch is in incredible condition for its age. The highly polished case (35mm excluding the crown) is in excellent condition, with no visible brassing and minor age wear. The dial is pristine, with reflective pyramid hour markers, a prominent sweep second track, gold hands, and that distinctive alarm hand. The Bulova branding and Wrist Alarm designation are perfectly preserved beneath the polished, scratch-free crystal.

The alarm crown, winding crown, and alarm pusher are all in fine shape and the watch winds and sets very nicely. The watch is quite accurate, with a high amplitude and it has an exceptional power reserve. To set the time, pull crown at 3 o'clock and set time. If you set the time in reverse and pass the alarm hand, it will automatically follow the hour hand, as intended. The alarm is always set in reverse and the alarm goes off whenever the hour hand crosses it. The alarm pusher at 4 o'clock enables or disables the alarm function. It's an incredibly sophisticated movement design that has to be seen to be appreciated! During the overhaul, I installed a brand new escape wheel and mainspring and I'll include their packaging along with the watch for your records.

The 1956 Wrist Alarm "A" was the very first alarm watch Bulova ever released and this one has clearly been looked after. It's certain to make one collector very happy!

Please note that all mechanical watches, including automatics, require occasional winding in order to function properly. The watch will be well packaged and shipped out within one business day and tracking information is always included. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask prior to purchase and I'll reply promptly. Thank you for looking and have a great day!
