Bulova Computron
This watch is in good condition with minimal signs of wear and tear. it comes unboxed with no papers.
The Bulova Computron is a distinctive digital watch with an unconventional, futuristic design that first appeared in the 1970s during the quartz crisis.
Bulova introduced the Computron in 1976, marking the brand's first venture into LED (Light Emitting Diode) digital watches.
The watch featured a unique trapezoidal case with the LED display positioned on the side, angled so the wearer could easily read the time without having to fully turn their wrist – a feature that led to it sometimes being called a "drivers' watch."
Early models came in chrome and gold-tone finishes, requiring the wearer to press a button to activate the LED display and show the time. Subsequent presses could reveal the date, seconds, or a second time zone, depending on the version.
The Computron's bold and unusual design quickly made it a recognizable timepiece of the era, embodying the futuristic aesthetic of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Its success played a role in keeping Bulova relevant during the rise of digital watches.
