Vintage Bulova Accutron Day-Date 3694

The Bulova Accutron 3694 is a vintage 1977 quartz wristwatch produced during Bulova’s transition from tuning-fork technology to modern Swiss-based quartz movements. It features a clean, practical design with a stainless steel case and reliable ETA-based quartz movement for accurate everyday timekeeping. As part of the Accutron Quartz era, it reflects Bulova’s shift toward durable, low-maintenance watches in the late 1970s.

Bulova: One of America’s foremost watch manufacturers, Bulova was founded in the late 19th century by Joseph Bulova in Queens, New York. The brand quickly established itself as a producer of high-quality timepieces and became deeply ingrained in American culture, even creating the first-ever television commercial. Often considered an unsung hero of American watchmaking, Bulova offers a rich and varied catalog that makes it a treasure trove for vintage collectors.
