Bulova Gold-Tone Hunter Pocket Watch

This is a vintage Gold-Tone Bulova Pocket Watch, likely from the mid-20th century, identifiable by the 'BULOVA' inscription on the dial. The watch features a classic round shape with a hinged cover, indicating it is likely a hunter-case or half-hunter type, although the full case is not visible. The case appears to be made of a gold-toned metal, possibly gold-filled or plated brass, showing a warm, aged patina consistent with its presumed age. The dial is a light color, possibly silver or off-white, with a textured, slightly mottled finish visible across its surface, suggesting some wear or original design. The hour markers are clear, bold Arabic numerals in black, with an inner ring displaying a 24-hour track in smaller, red Arabic numerals, indicating its potential use as a military or railroad-style watch. A sub-dial for seconds is located at the 6 o'clock position, a common feature in vintage pocket watches. The hands are blued steel, adding a touch of elegance, and appear to be in good condition. The crystal, though not perfectly clear due to lighting conditions, shows no obvious cracks or severe scratching. The crown and bow (the loop for attaching a chain) are also gold-toned and appear intact. The overall condition suggests a well-used but cared-for item, with expected signs of age like minor scratching on the case and dial texture.
