This is a notable piece of Bulova history: an early 1970s Bulova LED digital watch from the same pioneering "Accuquartz"/Computron family that introduced Bulova's first electronic digital timepieces in 1974. The textured gold-tone case has an oval red LED display window signed "Bulova" below it and a single time-setting crown. The battery compartment (currently exposed, as the case back is detached) is marked "Bulova, USA," with reference "2281." The gold-tone bracelet is fitted with a Bulova-signed clasp, and one bracelet link is separately stamped "Duchess U.S.A., 10KT G.F. Trim, Pat No. 3,690,064, Pat No. 3,726,083." Case width measures approximately 38.17mm excluding the crown. This watch is currently missing its case back and has not been tested, as no battery is installed; service is required to assess and run it. Extended runtime without service is not guaranteed.
