Bulova Longchamp Ellipse "Lapis Lazuli"
This stunning, extremely rare Bulova Longchamps Ellipse in NOS (New Old Stock) condition makes a striking impression on any wrist with its exquisite lapis lazuli dial. Celebrated for its elegant proportions and distinctive design, the Longchamps Ellipse is a fine example of Bulova’s mid-20th century watchmaking, blending classical aesthetics with innovative craftsmanship.
The watch is completely original, including its original strap and buckle, and is in pristine condition. All key components—the dial, crown, movement, case, and buckle—are signed by Bulova, emphasizing the authenticity and quality of this remarkable piece. Its elegantly shaped round case, brushed on the sides and polished on the angled edges, is a testament to Bulova’s attention to detail and remains in excellent condition, exuding timeless sophistication.
The lapis lazuli dial is particularly noteworthy, offering a deep, vibrant blue flecked with natural mineral inclusions. This gives each watch a truly unique character, making it not only a timepiece but also a small piece of wearable art. The minimalist, clean design of the hands and indices complements the bold beauty of the stone, ensuring readability while maintaining elegance.
The watch is powered by a manual-wind Bulova movement, based on the Universal 42 caliber, renowned for its precision and reliability. This movement was fully serviced in August 2025 in our workshop and is running perfectly, reflecting the enduring craftsmanship for which Bulova has been celebrated since the early 20th century.
First introduced during the mid-century era, the Longchamps Ellipse was part of Bulova’s effort to combine elegance and practicality in a compact yet distinctive form. Its name, “Ellipse,” reflects the refined proportions and slightly elongated case shape that became iconic for the line. Over the decades, it has remained a sought-after model for collectors, especially in rare dial variations such as lapis lazuli.
