Bulova at Baselworld 2019

Post by AtomicTom » Tue Mar 26, 2019 10:52 am

Not sure if you guys have seen what Bulova has evidently been
unveiling at Baselworld.

First is the brand new Joseph Bulova Swiss Automatic Collection.
Which honors the founder of Bulova, Joseph Bulova. With a line-up
that takes you from the 1920's, to the 1940's with 16 new watches.
Featuring all kinds of special case shapes, dials, straps, and even
custom Sellita SW200 movements everyone.

Check them out...

Then there is the Bulova Computron. Which is part of the Archive Series,
and takes you back with three futuristic classics. In stainless steel with
a blue LED, yellow gold plated with red LED, and black IP with blue LED.

Interesting release takes you right back to the 70's/80's. Can't imagine these going over well. Won't see any of my $$.

Just goes to show how taste can vary. I love the Computron and there is a good chance will get the blue display version. I also like the rectangular offerings, especially the salmon coloured dial.

Had an original goldtone Computron a few years ago. Was fun to wear. These seem pretty cool.

Interesting right guys?!! :) You have the traditional classics with all of the models
in the Joseph Bulova collection, but then crazy cool classics like the Computron
covered. Not to mention the Oceanographers we saw last year ! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Wonder what else they have in store this year, or coming up for us.

Steve, I bet that original Computron was just the best ! ..Wasn't it tough to
find the batteries meant for those, or something? Thought I had read that.

Luckily it was fully functional when I bought it Tom. It still was when I sold it, so never had to worry about replacing the batteries. You're right though, batteries were said to be hard to find. Had this super funky 1974 Bulova "Big Block" as well...

That is really something Steve, and must have to do with that old saying,
'"they don't make them like that anymore." :clap: ..Really is beyond cool imho
sir. Thank you so much for the lesson ! :salute:

Oh, and wow that "Big Block" is too cool as well ! 8-) ..I think I have
seen these before, but never knew their name. Thanks so much for the
look ! ..Love the whole design honestly, and amazing display those look
to have had.

So neat Steve. ..Thanks once again !!!

O.K. everyone, and here are couple more new ones to add.

Looks like Bulova has a few new Oceanographers on the way with
both a green dialed with 15 minute scale, and blue dial with orange
15 minute scale. ..Evidently there is a blue dial model with yellow
15 min. scale in the works too.

With just a few of the details including a 44mm stainless steel
case, 200m WR, box sapphire crystal, cross hair dials with neat
markers, and hands, Miyota 821 caliber automatic, and stainless
steel bracelets.

A couple more pictures...

Can see what you guys are saying here. Guess they wanted to keep the price down
a little, or something. ..I think last year they added a special addition which had
a Swiss automatic inside. But then the regular version had this movement inside.

Thanks! My wife wanted to hang it on a wall. She was actually upset when I waxed it.

It’s a great riding board though. I’ll be taking it out tomorrow.

Exactly. Perfect old man cruiser. It just slots in and carves so well.

I’ve got a couple short boards for when I want to pretend I’m still 25 and a bigger summer log for when it’s kinda flat, but this one is just about perfect - not too big, not too small.

I rode a bunch of fishes back in the day when I was closer the water. And a twinkie for the hot days.

I remember when you first shard that one with us. Nice board, but I thought you'd hang it on the wall! .... :grin:

FWIW, here’s a pic of my daughter with her friend with my daughter using one of my “short” boards (the white and blue board 7’2” which is hardly “short”). The other pic is her with her new board on her birthday. It’s 8’ by 22” so a nice summer cruiser for her.

I’m now thinking about getting her a board rack for her bike so she can ride to the beach. Maybe another year or so yet, but it won’t be long.

There is actually a little bump today. Surfline says thigh high which is enough for the long board.

I’m getting spring fever, so I’ll be out even if it’s only a ripple.
