Chairman of the Board
Frank Sinatra
Imbued with Bulova’s vintage art deco design and the unforgettable style of Ol’ Blue Eyes himself, Bulova presents the “Chairman of the Board” timepiece from the Frank Sinatra collection. Taking cues from Bulova’s 1936 “President” model, this timepiece features a 5-micron 18k gold-plated stainless steel case with stepped flanks and a long, sweeping arc that delivers unparalleled style and exceptional comfort on the wrist. Under a double curved sapphire crystal, the rich black dial is enhanced by gold-tone hour markers and hands, with Sinatra’s iconic fedora marking 12 o’clock. The date window at 6 o’clock remains subtle yet functional, offering added versatility to the watch. On display through a see-through case back, this luxurious timepiece is powered by a Swiss automatic movement with 25 jewels and a power reserve of 42 hours. The case back is further customized with the depiction of the Sinatra family crest: a crowned lion reaching for the stars. The watch is complemented by a fine brown calfskin leather strap finished with a new foldover buckle in matching 5-micron 18k gold plating. Limited to 500 individually numbered pieces, each “Chairman of the Board” is delivered in a lacquered box with a limited-edition card and plaque, and a Frank Sinatra storybook.

Reviews
Highly polished gold plated case, sapphire crystal with anti reflective coating allowing you to see the rich black dial and gold accents (including the Sinatra hat at 12:00). The minute hand sweeps so smoothly thanks to the top tier Sellita movement, sw100a with 28,800 vph powered with a 38 hour power reserve, 25 jewel Swiss movement-truly one of the best movements for this size watch. Included is a beautiful picture in white light from my car, on my 7” wrist. You won’t regret this watch, incredibly comfortable band with an excellent deployment latch.
This is SUCH an elegant watch! It feels very vintage with the curved long rectangle shaped case. I love that the case back is open to show the Swiss Automatic movement and also there is the Frank Sinatra family crest of a lion reaching for the stars. Also, I find regular deployant buckles extremely uncomfortable, but this watch has a very unique and comfortable closure. Gorgeous!

Exceptional
An exceptional timepiece, my Chairman of the Board is an immediate favorite in my collection. I consider it to be a proper dress watch, but have worn it casually as well. I was concerned that it may be too small for me, but the 25mm wears well and the watch has a good bit of heft to it. Count me as an extremely satisfied customer.
