    To tell how old your Bulova watch is, look on the back of the case for the date symbol or code. Beginning in 1950, Bulova began adding an alphanumeric code to its timepieces. By cross-referencing the code on your watch to information published on trusted online resources, you can quickly determine the production year of timepieces produced from 1950 onwards. For older watches, you'll need to look for a date symbol. These markings provide clues about the year of production, but Bulova repeated some shapes. For example, squares were the symbol for both 1927 and 1936. As a result of the overlap, you may also need to look at images in catalogues to determine the exact year of production for an older timepiece. Should you have any difficulty dating your watch, seek the help of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Bulova watches.
