Posted on by

Honoring its 140-year commitment to innovation, as well as the company’s long and continuing role in the business life of New York City, Bulova Corporation will be introducing two commemorative watches as part of the celebration of its 140th year in continuous business. The special introductions include a Limited Edition Statue of Liberty Coin Timepiece and a Special Edition Precisionist Chronograph.

Founded in New York in 1875, the global timekeeping brand is adding these introductions to its year-long schedule of initiatives, including the company’s move to New York’s iconic Empire State Building.

Bulova Limited Edition Statue of Liberty Coin Timepiece

A tribute to one of New York’s most famous landmarks, the Bulova Limited Edition Statue of Liberty Coin Timepiece, based on the 19th-century Liberty-head gold coin, features a dimensional medallion dial and twelve diamonds, individually hand-set into star-shaped settings.

With a detailed, coin-edged, 39 mm case and quartz movement, this unique watch will be available in a numbered, controlled-production run, and will be accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. The back of each case will feature Bulova’s 140th Anniversary logo. The Bulova Limited Edition Statue of Liberty Coin Timepiece is crafted of 316L stainless steel with gold finish and includes a domed sapphire crystal and black leather strap.
