While the Surf Kings were a fairly long running line for Bulova (introduced at the end of the 1950’s) this particular variant from the mid-‘60s may be one of the most well known and liked of them all.
The Surf King line was traditionally always a slim and modest design that was more on the minimalist side of things — these variants were no exception. With a thin profile, stylized “12” numeral and hour markers, tritium filled dauphine hands, and a subtle subdial second register on a beautiful unicolor dial, this watch exudes and exemplifies the decade as well as about any that Bulova put out.
Freshly and professionally serviced, paired with a slightly tapered fine mesh bracelet, here’s the watch your collection is missing — and in a condition you will be hard pressed to pass up.

[All vintage watches are expected to function as described. However, due to age and generally unknown service history (unless otherwise stated), these watches may not keep time as accurately as new or quartz (battery) watches. This is completely normal and does not indicate that there is a major problem. Like your automobile, all mechanical watches will likely need to be serviced at some point in time. Please keep this in mind, as there is no guarantee regarding when these vintage watches may need standard maintenance. Every watch sold by Buying On Time is done so with the expectation that it is not currently in need of service or repair, unless noted. We guarantee that all watches sold are accurately described and in the stated condition when they leave our hands.]
