A 1959 Bulova 23 men's automatic watch. The high end, US made 23 jewel 10BPAC movement has been inspected, fully serviced, and timegrapher regulated to ensure accuracy.
This B23 is a classic Fifties head-turner! With its pristine white dial, 10K RGP case, and bold lugs, the 1959 B23 "XW" model will not be ignored. The polished case (34.5mm excluding the crown) is in very good condition, with only the lightest light age wear. The pale white dial is perfectly preserved beneath the brand new acrylic crystal. All dial print is crisp and clear, the hands are a deep reflective gold that perfectly matches the case. The gold applique indices really catch the eye. The triple signed watch bears matching date codes and the crown winds and sets well. The caseback has average age wear, but it's only aesthetic. The case gasket is present and the caseback snaps firmly to the case, as it should.
The high-end 10BPAC movement has clearly been looked after over the decades. With a high amplitude and low beat error, the B23 is exceptionally accurate to say the least! The automatic assembly quietly winds the watch for you while you wear it and the watch is extremely comfortable on the wrist. The watch comes on vintage US made genuine leather bands that are very comfortable and accent the case finish nicely.
The '59 Bulova 23 "XW" variant is rarely found these days and never in such fine condition. It's bound to make one collector very happy indeed!
