Bulova Women's Gold-Tone Dive-Style Quartz Watch

This is a women's wrist watch, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century, featuring a gold-tone finish throughout. The watch has a classic dive-style aesthetic with a unidirectional rotating bezel, though the bezel markings (indicating 0, 15, 30, 45) appear more decorative than fully functional for timing dives, as is typical of fashion watches. The round case houses a light-colored, possibly silver or cream-colored, dial with a textured, almost guilloche-like pattern in the center. The hour markers are a mix of applied gold-tone indices and Arabic numerals at 6, 9, and 12 o'clock, though the '12' is obscured by the Bulova logo. The brand name 'Bulova' is prominently displayed below the 12 o'clock position, and a date window is present at the 3 o'clock position. The hands are gold-tone, with the hour and minute hands appearing in a dauphine or sword style, and a slender seconds hand. A notable design element is the stylized Bulova tuning fork logo visible on the dial, indicating its quartz movement. The watch is attached to a matching gold-tone metal link bracelet with a deployment clasp, some of the links show a two-tone effect (gold and silver). Visible condition issues include significant wear and scratches on the gold-tone plating, particularly on the bezel edges, lugs, and bracelet links, suggesting frequent use or age. There are darker areas within the worn sections, indicating loss of plating. The crystal appears intact but may have minor surface scratches not clearly visible in the image. The overall craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced, mid-range quality timepiece, aligning with typical Bulova offerings in this style. The wear patterns suggest that the base metal beneath the gold plating is likely a silver-colored alloy, possibly stainless steel. The watch is a functional accessory rather than a high-end luxury item.
