Bulova Wrist Alarm. Looks to be in fine condition. Do you have the caseback?

An easy one!

Bulova Wrist Alarm. This is the all Bulova version of the Wrist Alarm, not the Junghans or AS as sometimes seen.

One of my bucketlist Bulova watches. I'd love to hear the sound of the alarm oneday.

It's sound is similar to a Vulcain Cricket, or Seiko Bell-Matic.

Rings AND vibrates just like my BellMatic.  The difference is that the top crown winds both the alarm AND the movement, so the alarm only rings for 20 seconds as to not run the watch all of the way down.  The Bellmatic has a separate winding alarm, and spring, for the alarm bell.  The bottom crown of the Bulovais for setting the Alarm hand!

There are multiple videos on youtube where the Wrist Alarm's alarm sound is shown.
