1955 Bulova 17 Jewel “Water Protected” Manual Wind Men’s Watch – Gold Tone Textured Dial

This striking 1955 Bulova men's wristwatch features a distinctive textured gold-tone dial with bold raised indices and a sub-seconds register at 6 o'clock. The watch houses a 17-jewel manual wind movement and is labeled "Water Protected." The vintage gold-tone case is paired with a matching stretch bracelet, giving the piece a classic mid-century aesthetic. The case shows honest wear with surface scratches consistent with age, but the dial remains well-preserved and highly legible.Manufacturer: BulovaYear: 1955 (based on L5 date code)Movement: 17-jewel manual windDial: Gold-tone, textured, with sub-secondsCase Size: Approx. 33mmCase Material: Gold-tone base metalBracelet: Gold-tone stretch bandCondition: Running; visible wear on case and crystalMarkings: “17 JEWEL MOVEMENT,” “WATER PROTECTED,” Bulova logo
