Bulova Revives 1970s Parking Meter Chronograph

Bulova just added a favorite from the 1970’s to its Archive Series, the “Parking Meter” chronograph.

It was originally released in 1973 and earned its name as the bullhead chronograph due to its dial configuration that sees its central blue-on-silver dual-time dial and small seconds form the shape of a parking meter.

While the original 1970 watch was powered by an automatic movement, Bulova has opted for a Miyota quartz movement for the 2022 limited edition of 5,000 pieces.

The uniquely shaped case is made of stainless steel, surrounded with blue ion-plated outer ring, while the hands are picked out in bright orange.

The chronograph pushers sit at the top of the case, either side of the crown at the 12 o’clock position, which is used to adjust the time and date, while a second crown sits at the six o’clock controlling the second timezone.

It drops this fall, so be on the look-out. Don’t forget to checkout our Bulova collection here
