Bulova Golden Clipper 'H' Automatic c.1970
When ‘funky chunky’ adopts the smooth lines of a future starship space fleet, this must be the inevitable result, right?
So many features on this beauty that make it stand out among the crowd, even within the Bulova stable! From the smooth, brushed stainless case to the deep ocean blue, linen dial, this timepiece is undoubtedly an eye-catcher; the blaze orange sweep hand and loveable Bulova ‘Whale’ are icing on the cake.
Pushing 40mm, this Golden Clipper ‘H’ offers modern proportions while wearing much more comfortable, with hidden lugs allowing the large dial to steal the show. Inside the case a classic 11ANACB is packaged, making this a classic, futuristic Bulova offering.

[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.]
