Description:
A small round dial in soft ivory carries graceful script Arabic numerals and slim gold hands, set in a domed gold-tone case with sculpted hooded lugs. Made in 1978 by Caravelle, Bulova’s Swiss-made line, it’s the kind of delicate dress watch women wore every day through the decade. The Florentine-textured expansion band has bright-cut edges and catches warm light at the wrist. It slips on easily and wears as much like a bracelet as a timepiece.
