Vintage Bulova Art Deco Ladies' Watch

This is a vintage Bulova ladies' wristwatch, likely dating from the mid-to-late 1920s or early 1930s, showcasing classic Art Deco design elements. The watch features an elongated, tonneau-shaped case made of white metal, which appears to be white gold-filled or silver-toned base metal, heavily adorned with intricate chased floral or wheat-pattern engravings. The dial is oval-shaped and silver-toned, featuring stylized black Arabic numerals in a font characteristic of the era. The center of the dial has a vertical guilloché pattern where the 'BULOVA' name is printed. The hands are darkened steel, and a serrated winding crown is visible on the right side. The watch is attached to a modern-replacement black textured leather strap with top-stitching. Regarding condition, there is visible oxidation and darkening (patina) on the metal case, especially within the recesses of the engravings. The dial shows signs of aging, including minor spotting and a slight yellowish tint consistent with its nearly century-old age. The crystal appears worn with some micro-scratches. The craftsmanship is indicative of Bulova's high production standards of the early 20th century, focusing on decorative aesthetics and reliable mechanical movements.
