Watch Description

Dear guys, I have this Bulova Longchamp purchased in 1978.  I would like to have some information about the movement 10CK of this Longchamp.  Moreover I also would like to know how did look both the original buckle (it have been lost) and the crown (it is unsigned and so I think it is not original)Many thanks! 

Francesco

Very nice! Solid 18K gold! Welcome and thanks for sharing.

A previous identification of  this movement  (per panel member Reverend Rob)

"The 10CK is a Peseux 7001, a quality ebauche also used by Girard-Perregaux and Ulysse Nardin."

Not much is known about the Bulova Longchamp, I don't believe we have ever found an ad for one. It appears to have been a European model not sold or advertised  in the US. It is entirely possible the crown is original, band and buckle unknown by me. Perhaps one of the other members may have some info to share.
