A 1957 Bulova "President" C variant wristwatch, featuring an ultrathin 17 jewel, Swiss-made 11AC movement that has been inspected, serviced, and timegrapher regulated to ensure accuracy.
1957 set the standard for many Bulova models and this President is a perfect example. The low profile, 10k gold plated case (32.0mm excluding the crown) frames an incredibly well-preserved champagne dial. The gold index hands align perfectly with baton indices with a matching small second hand. The Bulova logo is crisp and clean and the original mushroom crown is present. The gold-plated snap-on caseback is in great shape and all date codes match.
Inside, the 17 jewel 11AC movement keeps time with great accuracy, thanks to the application of appropriate Moebius lubricants. With an amplitude just north of 300°, it's good to go for years.
The President comes on 18mm genuine leather bands in a deep mahogany hue that is a perfect match for this watch. Overall, this is a stunning late-Fifties President that has clearly been well cared for and will quickly become one of your favorite watches!
