1970s Chronograph Valjoux 7734 Steel

A cool vintage Bulova chronograph from the 1970s, housed in a Swiss-made SOG stainless steel case that perfectly captures the era’s bold design language. The matte charcoal grey dial is framed by a white tachymeter scale and contrasted by bright orange accents throughout, from the central chronograph seconds hand to the partially segmented 30-minute register and applied baton hour markers.

White luminous hands and a date aperture at 6 o’clock keep the dial highly legible. The Bulova-signed crown is flanked by pump pushers, while the watch is powered by the Valjoux 7734 manual-wind chronograph movement.

Fitted to a black NATO-style strap, it’s a charismatic 1970s chronograph with plenty of the motorsport-inspired personality that defined the era.
