Dear All
For sale is this Bulova A-11 6B/234 RAF Wristwatch c.1943
The American watch company, Bulova, was founded in 1875 by Joseph Bulova in New York City, USA.
Upon the USA entering the Second World War, Bulova began manufacturing wristwatches for the US military.
Together with Elgin and Waltham, Bulova was contracted to produce the A-11 Avigation “Hack” wristwatch, which was to be made in accordance with US government specifications. The specification called for a minimum 15 -jewel hand wound hacking movement with centre seconds, an outer minute track with 10-minute demarcations, and minute and hour hands.
Despite the A-11 watch originally being produced for the US military, the Royal Air Force (RAF) also procured them for general service by their airborne and ground crew. These watches were subsequently designated by the British as the Mk VIII and the Bulova A-11 for sale is one such example, this being confirmed by the 6B/234 markings on the reverse of the case back.
The mid-case of the watch for sale is in incredible condition and appears to be silver-plated as opposed to the more commonly found nickel variety.
The watch is in excellent overall condition.
The dial is in beautiful condition with no obvious flaws or blemishes.
The hands and crown are all correct to the original specification of the watch.
The case is in excellent overall condition with no obvious wear or tarnishing.
The case back has all the usual A-11 and subsequent RAF issue markings.
The spring bars are later-day replacements.
The Bulova 10AK calibre movement is in excellent condition and is currently running well and keeping good time and includes its original dust cover.
The watch diameter is 32mm.
Please see photos below:
The watch is currently listed for sale on our website for £1,195. The watch comes complete with two new NATO straps.
All our items are guaranteed to be completely genuine and authentic examples of their kind. We offer a fourteen-day "no quibble" money-back guarantee on all the items we sell together with a full six-month warranty on all our wristwatches and clocks. This means that you can buy from us with complete confidence.
For further information on the watch for sale please feel free to call us on 0207 117 2807 or email us direct via info@finest-hour.co.uk
Many thanks and regards
