Bulova Sea King Automatic - 1966 - Warm Champagne Dial - Whale Logo - Gilt Movement

Bulova's Sea King line defined the brand's mid-century mix of style and reliability. The whale logo at six o'clock, now iconic among collectors, was a proud badge of water resistance.

This example has a dial that has mellowed from silver to a warm champagne tone, beautifully complemented by rich tritium lume on the hands and indices that has aged to a deep pumpkin yellow over sixty years. The faceted indices catch the light with every movement, giving the watch depth and character that only genuine age produces.

Inside is Bulova's Swiss-made 11BLACD automatic movement, with beautiful gilt plating across the bridges and rotor visible through the display caseback. The stainless steel case with screw-down back wears with confidence, its robust lugs and clean mid-century profile making it an honest and versatile survivor from Bulova's golden era.
