Vintage Buler Digital Jump Hour Automatic Watch

This is a vintage 1970s Buler jump hour 'digital' mechanical wristwatch, a classic example of the Space Age design era. The watch features a substantial, TV-shaped stainless steel or base metal case with a distinctive vertically brushed finish on the façade. The dial is dark (likely black or deep navy) and features a non-traditional layout typical of jump hour watches; it displays the hour via a rotating disc visible through a top aperture, minutes through a central rotating disc, and potentially a sweeping second hand or disc. The dial text indicates 'Buler Digital' and '17 Jewels' or '21 Jewels' beneath the central window. It is fitted on an integrated-style stainless steel Oyster-link bracelet. Condition-wise, the case shows visible surface wear with numerous fine scratches and scuffs consistent with regular use over several decades. The acrylic crystal displays minor abrasions but appears intact. The brushed finish remains fairly crisp, though there is likely some dirt accumulation in the bracelet links. This piece represents the experimental horology of the mid-20th century, where mechanical movements were used to mimic various electronic digital displays before the quartz revolution fully took hold.
