The Bulova Bryn Mawr, introduced in 1950, sits at the transition between the sculptural drama of 1940s American watchmaking and the cleaner lines of the early post-war decade. The square case is framed by engraved gold-filled shoulders and paired with a double-strand snake bracelet that is original to the watch and in remarkable condition for its age.
The original black dial has been professionally restored and carries full Arabic numerals in gold, with matching gold hands. The contrast between the deep dial and the warm gold of the case and bracelet is striking on the wrist. The original mechanical movement has been cleaned and oiled and is running well. The case back is steel, marked Bulova Quality, with the serial number.
The bracelet features a period clasp and can be adjusted to fit a range of wrist sizes.
As with all vintage timepieces, we recommend periodic servicing to maintain optimal performance.

Frequently asked questions
Are your watches authentic?
Yes — all watches sold in our shop are 100% authentic vintage pieces. We carefully source our timepieces from trusted auction houses and long-term, reputable suppliers. We never sell fakes or replicas.
Does my watch come with its original box and papers?
Every item included in your order is individually photographed and described in the listing. When original packaging or documentation is available, it will always be clearly shown and described. This means that if an original box, papers or any other accessory is not pictured or mentioned in the description, it is not part of the order. In this case, the watch will arrive in a Finchley Watches cardboard box, carefully wrapped and packaged for safe delivery.
What is your return policy?
We accept returns and exchanges within 14 days of delivery, provided the watch is returned in its original condition. The buyer is responsible for return shipping costs, initial shipping costs are non-refundable, and a flat restocking fee of 5% of the purchase price will apply. If the piece is faulty or significantly not as described, we will of course cover all return fees.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes — we offer free worldwide shipping from the UK. We usually dispatch within 2 business days. UK delivery takes 1–4 business days, international delivery 3–10 business days depending on your location. If you're ordering from the United States, all taxes and duties are included.
