Back In The 70s ....

Aug 08, 2019,02:45 AM

Bulova launched the “Computron”. Both iconic and nostalgic the Computron has been updated and released as part of the Archive Series and personally I like the retro feel. It follows the original with digital LED and features a black stainless steel case on a black rubber strap, you could change this strap for something more interesting in my opinion. The LED display, expanded digital functionality now has dual time zone capabilities and a distinct retro design that is as relevant today as it was in the 1970’s. It’s a piece that won’t break the bank, offers an interesting alternative to the usual offerings and the opportunity to customise with some interesting strap choices. The price, around $295 (who needs an Urwerk). Did I mention the other case options ?....

How I loved and treasured that watch!!!! Seems it is not even available in the UK now.. (

Great memories...

I think however big and impressive a watch collection we have, an interesting piece like this rekindles the fun element.

Indeed. It brings out the "kid" in us that never goes away altogether I think [nt]

I hope i will get mine when i am back from my Vacation . I bought the silver one last week . Cant wait to try it on the wrist 🤗. Still you cant compare it with a amazing Urwerk or MB&F i would say 😉

Congratulations on jumping on this one ...

MBF and Urwerk are in a different league but this is just pure fun at a great price point.

Thanks and exactly why i bought it . I love these ,,driver watches,, And This one doesn't break the bank, either 😉

Hope to post it when back from holiday 🙏🏻

Do you think that ...

By: Cpt Scarlet : August 8th, 2019-04:16

you will change the strap for something more personal ?

I will first try it the way it is but at some point i will change it i guess .

By: Watchonthewrists : August 8th, 2019-04:24

I love to change straps from time to time so this one will get some new shoes as well in the near future 😉 Maybe a pair of blue rubber shoes will fit nice when looking at the pics 🤔

I’m thinking.... pimp it up 70s style...

I agree...

By: Cpt Scarlet : August 9th, 2019-15:20

Difficult choice, both look great.

Has anyone seen these watches where other Bovas are sold? (nt)

Do a google search for retailers in your area. If this doesn’t work for you send me a PM telling me what region you live in and I will find one for you. Regards The Captain

I have looked at the local retailets selling Bulovas. I have not seen them...

In any display case.

Hi Ronald...

You could try the Bulova website for a list of AD’s and contact them directly to see if they have them in stock. This is the link:

Saw the red and blue LED on bracelets at Macy's. Could not turn on the display...

And the price seemed too high. Was not at Zales.

Picked mine up today
