The caliber 11 was a joint venture between Heuer, Hamilton-Buren, Breitling, and movement manufacturer Dubiois-Depraz. The movement was introduced instantly to a number of watches but some issues with the movement arose, leading to a revision of the movement first to the Caliber 11i, then to the Caliber 12.
By the time the movement had been sorted out, the partners started contracting these automatic chronograph movements out to other watch manufacturers. Bulova ordered a number of these movements and made a handful of models in line with the funky designs of the early 70s, including a large bullhead and the type you see here, designated model "F". The movement was renamed to the Bulova Caliber 14EFAD for use in their watches but was otherwise identical to the Caliber 12.
It seems that few of these chronographs have stood the test of time as these automatic Bulova chronographs seem to seldom surface. Found here is one in excellent condition with a beautiful mint dial with the original bracelet on the watch. This watch is as original as can be and ready to be strapped on to a new wrist! The crystal is also in unbelievable condition!
Condition is per the photos and as follows:Case: 44mm diameter stainless steel case (43mm lug to lug) in excellent vintage condition. The case has been well preserved with sharp edges and crisp, deep grained brushing. The polished case surface shows some minor wear with scratches, scuffs, and small nicks but is free of any eye sores or major dings/dents/scratches. The crown is original and marked Bulova. Bezel: Internal fixed base 200 tachymeter bezel in mint condition with no missing paint, fading, or chips. Dial/Hands: A very unique and interesting four color dial in outstanding condition. The center section is a metallic blue, with a large tan segment leading to a white outer ring with red second intervals. The subdials have three rings alternating in tan and white with black print. The date disc is a metallic silver. Crystal: Original Bulova CrystalMovement: Bulova caliber 14EFAD based on the Heuer caliber 12. All movement functions work perfectly including the chronograph start, stop, and reset to zero. The watch keeps great time, but service history is unknown. Very clean movement. Strap: The Original Stainless Steel Bracelet. Bracelet marked: "Pat No. 1095305, Pat No. 848015". Measures 165mm closed. Clasp: The original clasp. Clasp marked: "10151 All Stainless Steel"The watch is 100% original of all parts!
