Bulova “Lone Eagle” men’s Art Deco design wristwatch in 14K white gold fill with black enamel bezel, circa 1928.

Bulova’s most famous Art Deco design of the 1920s, the “Lone Eagle” has stylized eagle heads set in hard black enamel in each corner. Originally introduced around 1926 as the “Conqueror,” this model was renamed the “Lone Eagle” for Charles Lindbergh following his historic solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean in May of 1927. Lindbergh personally endorsed the watch and advertisements for the watch featured Lindbergh and his plane, the Spirit of St. Louis, quite prominently along with his testimonial. This example is in excellent condition showing only very light wear. Black enamel inlay is excellent. Hinged caseback is superb and unengraved. Case measures 32mm long and 26mm wide. Original inlaid enamel dial is very good, with some patina. Has new glass crystal. The watch is powered by its correct 17-jewel Bulova grade 9AT manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong.
