Bulova Gold Sunburst Dial & Case Cal. 11AFC

Dated to 1960 by the “M0” code on its caseback, this vintage Bulova is powered by the manual-wind Caliber 11AFC movement. The case consists of a rolled gold plate bezel and a stainless steel screw-down back marked as “Waterproof,” “Shock-Resistant,” and “Anti-Magnetic.” Its gold-colored sunburst dial features printed line indices and a Roman numeral “XII” at the 12 o’clock position. The timepiece is distinguished by a pair of thermally blued dauphine hands that offer a striking contrast against the warm tone of the dial. This classic dress watch is presented on a black leather strap with white contrast stitching.

Overview

During the 1950s and 60s, Bulova was a powerhouse, producing a vast and diverse catalog of watches for every taste and purpose. While they were known for their bold and innovative designs, they also crafted sublime, classically styled watches like this one, which formed the elegant backbone of their offerings. Ticking inside is the Caliber 11AFC, a robust and reliable manually-wound movement that was a true workhorse for the brand, embodying Bulova’s commitment to solid, dependable engineering.

This particular Bulova is a masterclass in understated design and the magic of details. The dial is a gorgeous canvas of warm, champagne-gold with a delicate sunburst finish that catches the light beautifully. The applied baton markers are clean and unobtrusive, allowing the dial’s warmth and texture to shine. But what truly elevates this piece to another level is the stunning handset. The dauphine hour and minute hands are thermally blued, creating an iridescent, deep-ocean blue that provides a spectacular and sophisticated contrast against the golden dial. It’s a high-horology detail typically found on much more expensive European timepieces, and it gives this watch an incredible visual pop.
