While I normally show pictures of the movements of watches I put up for sale I'm unable to remove the case back on this watch. The outer edge of the case back is stamped "BULOVA | STAINLESS STEEL CASE | ANTI-MAGNETIC | SHOCK RESISTANT | SELF- WINDING | WATER PROOF" with "WATCH COMPANY" followed by "INC." and "78287" stamped along the inner edge. The all stainless steel lugholes case shows honest wear, dirt residue and signs of oxidation. The lume, which no longer glows after being exposed to bright light, has aged gracefully. This is a midsize watch, measuring approximately 33 mm excluding the crown, approximately 36 mm including the crown and approximately 17 mm between the lugs.*********** This seldom seen vintage 1960's Bulova Sea Clipper, which came from the estate of its original owner, has an aged Explorer-style "SWISS" only signed dial. Given this and considering the movement's unknown service history a complete overhaul is likely long overdue and recommended. ***********Although the movement keeps accurate time over an approximate 37 hour power reserve period it's necessary to gently spin the watch face down on a soft, flat surface after winding the crown in order to jump-start the movement. The all stainless steel lugholescase shows honest wear, dirt residue and signs of oxidation.
