Bulova 1934 Lone Eagle Watch 17 Jewels Fancy Two-tone Case 10AN Vintage Wristwatch

Watch Overview

Colonel Lindbergh's epoch-making Transatlantic Flight was the occasion for the presentation of the first Bulova “Lone Eagle”—a tribute to American aviation history and one of the most iconic models ever produced by the brand. Then in 1934, Bulova introduced six smart styles, both plain and engraved, expanding the Lone Eagle line with sophisticated designs that reflected the elegance and innovation of the era.

This particular piece is a vintage Bulova 1934 Lone Eagle men’s wristwatch, made in U.S.A. that blends elegant aesthetics with mechanical craftsmanship. The 25x29.7mm case is a beautifully engraved two-tone 10K rolled gold-plated rectangular design, paired with a classic brown leather strap. It’s a rare survivor from the golden age of wristwatches.

Powered by the Bulova 10AN manual-winding mechanical movement, this watch features 17 jewels, central hour and minute hands, a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock, and an adjusted mechanism for improved accuracy. Beating at a frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour, it offers a power reserve of approximately 38 hours.

The champagne dial features gold Arabic numerals, a bold "railroad" minute track, and matching gold-tone hands. This watch is in good vintage condition, showing wear consistent with its age and use. It has been fully inspected by our in-house watchmaker, runs accurately, and is ready to wear.

History & Legacy of Bulova

The Bulova Watch Company is a distinguished American watchmaker with a legacy spanning more than 140 years. Founded in 1875 by Czech immigrant Joseph Bulova in New York City, the company quickly earned a reputation for innovation and precision in timekeeping. Originally producing high-quality pocket watches and jewelry, Bulova became a pioneer in the wristwatch market by the early 20th century. Notably, the brand introduced the first full line of men's wristwatches in 1919 and was among the first to implement standardized production across its timepieces. Throughout the decades, Bulova led numerous horological milestones, including the launch of the first television commercial in 1941. In 2008, Bulova was acquired by Citizen Watch Co. Ltd. of Japan, forming Citizen Watch America. Today, Bulova continues to offer a diverse range of watches—from classic automatics to cutting-edge precisionist models—renowned for their craftsmanship, reliability, and iconic American style.
