The Bulova N4 Jump Hour Ref. 305187 is a distinctive example of 1970s watch design, embracing the era's fascination with futuristic styling and unconventional time displays. Produced in 1974—the "N4" case code denoting its year of manufacture—this automatic timepiece replaces traditional hands with rotating discs that display the hours and minutes through a dedicated window, creating a clean and highly legible "digital" display long before LCD watches became commonplace. Housed in a sleek gold-plated stainless steel case, the Ref. 305187 combines retro-modern aesthetics with dependable Swiss mechanical engineering, making it a sought-after collectible for enthusiasts who appreciate innovative horology and the bold design language of the 1970s.

More Info
  • The History:

Bulova was founded in 1879 by Joseph Bulova, an expatriate from the Czech Republic who came to America in 1860 at age 9.  The brand quickly gained recognition for its innovative, high-quality timepieces.  Upon opening a factory in Bienne, Switzerland, in 1912, Bulova continued to push the envelope in technological innovation and brand recognition, becoming the first watch brand to advertise on the radio in 1923 and, later, on television in 1941.  

  • The Watch:

The Bulova N4 Jump Hour features a 36.5mm gold-plated stainless steel case with an acrylic crystal.  The dial features three discs representing the hours, minutes, and seconds in a display window that has a “digital” look.  A date window sits adjacent to the time window.  The Jump Hour is powered by the automatic Caliber 11 movement.

  • The Details:

This Bulova N4 Jump Hour Ref 305187 is in New-Old Stock Unworn Condition and includes the original Bulova case, the original hangtag, and the original bracelet.
