description Bulova Computron 97C110 Overview

The Bulova Computron 97C110 is a modern quartz digital watch whose angular gold-tone case and red LED display reinterpret Bulova's 1970s Computron design. Its display is positioned on the case edge and activated by a side button, allowing the time to be read with less wrist rotation than a conventional upward-facing dial. The model is intended for wearers interested in retro-futurist styling and digital-watch history; 97C110 is a later revival model, not a watch released in 1977.

What kind of display does the Bulova Computron 97C110 feature?

The Bulova Computron 97C110 features a distinctive, bright red LED display that lights up at the push of a button. This iconic 1970s technology was favored for its high visibility and futuristic aesthetic.

Why does the Bulova Computron 97C110 have a curved case design?

Released in 1977, the uniquely curved, chrome-plated case was designed to ergonomically fit the natural shape of the human wrist. This 'driver's' shape also angled the red LED display toward the wearer for easier reading.

Is the Bulova Computron 97C110 an original 1970s model or a reissue?

While originally launched in 1977, Bulova has released modern reissues of the Computron 97C110 that faithfully replicate the vintage chrome-plated case and red LED screen. The modern versions typically update the internal battery and quartz movements.

How do you view the time on the Bulova Computron 97C110?

To view the time on the Computron 97C110, the wearer must press a button on the side of the chrome case to activate the red LED display. This design choice was necessary because keeping the LED light constantly illuminated would rapidly drain the watch's battery.
