Vintage Bulova Automatic Day-Date Wristwatch

This is a vintage men's Bulova automatic wristwatch, likely dating from the early to mid-1970s. The piece features a dynamic tonneau-shaped (cushion style) gold-toned case with a matching gold-tone crown at the 3 o'clock position. The dial is a champagne sunburst finish adorned with applied gold baton hour markers and a matching handset, complemented by a distinctive red central seconds hand. A notable feature is the day-date complication displayed at the 3 o'clock position, with the day appearing in Spanish ('DOM' for Domingo). The dial is marked with the Bulova 'tuning fork' logo at 12 o'clock and text indicating it contains a 23-jewel automatic movement. The watch is currently paired with a burgundy or oxblood-colored flat leather strap with tonal stitching and a gold-tone buckle. In terms of condition, the acrylic crystal shows significant scuffing and multiple surface scratches, particularly across the center and lower half. The case exhibits minor surface wear and light scratches consistent with regular use, but the gold plating appears largely intact. The dial shows some light spotting or tropicalization, common for pieces of this era. The leather strap shows some creasing and mild wear near the lugs and holes, indicating it is an aftermarket replacement rather than an original band. Overall, the watch exhibits an honest patina that speaks to its age and heritage as a mid-century mechanical timepiece.
