The 1970s was a golden age for creative industrial design, with watchmaking being particularly fertile ground for innovation.

Oversized cases, bright colors, strange complications — the confluence of the hippie movement with new sporting and leisure activities resulted in specialist timepieces whose fun-loving designs are finding new life today as beloved vintage goods.

This particular funky ‘70s timepiece is from beloved American-founded brand Bulova. Housed in a 36mm two tone stainless steel cushion case with an integrated multi-link bracelet and a signed blade clasp, an acrylic crystal, a signed crown, and a softly fluted bezel. It features a cool - patterned champagne dial with a framed day date function.

Powered by the automatic Bulova Caliber 11BSACB movement providing a signature sweep second action and a not-so-common for the era instant setting date function, this humble Bulova is a prime example of creative ‘70s watch design that nevertheless remains moderately inconspicuous.
