Bulova Rubaiyat Four Seasons Winter watch
Marking a significant milestone in horological history, Bulova celebrates its 250th anniversary this year, which will usher in a host of important product releases, as well as news and events. One of the first announcements: the Rubaiyat Four Seasons watches. Like the seasons, there will be four versions and the first two have just arrived: Rubaiyat Winter and Rubaiyat Spring.
The brand’s Four Seasons luxury collection honors the enduring legacy of the Rubaiyat watch, which was first introduced in 1917 as Bulova’s pioneering series of timepieces crafted exclusively for women. A name of poetic significance, Rubaiyat embodies elegance and refinement, blending the essence of nature’s changing seasons with unparalleled craftsmanship.
Bulova Rubaiyat Four Seasons Winter watch is crafted in steel with a mosaic mother-of-pearl dial.
The Rubaiyat Winter is an ode to the serene beauty of a snow-covered landscape. The stainless steel watch features a case set with 42 white sapphires ( 0.25 carats) and a synthetic spinel cabochon crown. The dial, a shimmering mosaic of white mother-of-pearl, mimics the iridescence of freshly fallen snow, each piece inherently unique in its natural variations.
Icicle-shaped faceted markers further enhance its wintry aesthetic, evoking the brilliance of ice crystals under a cold winter sun. The timepiece is elegantly completed with a glossy white alligator-grain leather strap, embodying the sophistication and tranquility of the season. The Rubaiyat Winter retails for $995. While this watch recalls the soft snowflakes of winter, we also see it as a great ode to summer when white is the ultimate color choice.
Bulova Rubaiyat Four Seasons Spring watch with pink quartzite dial.
Welcoming the renewal of life and the blooming beauty of nature, the Rubaiyat Spring is all about color. The gold-tone case of this watch boasts 42 pink sapphires totaling 0.25 carats, on the outer halo of the case and a synthetic spinel cabochon crown offers a finishing touch. It is the dial, though, that is reminiscent of cherry blossoms in spring thanks to the thin slab of pink quartzite. Because it is a natural material, each dial boasts a distinct and organic pattern, with no two alike. Floral-shaped faceted markers at 12:00, 3:00, 6:00 and 9:00 reiterate the theme. It is finished with a pink alligator-grain leather strap. The Rubaiyat Spring sells for $1,295.
Both timepieces continue the Rubaiyat tradition of celebrating empowered femininity. The motif of round dial and case within an outer halo of round, crown positioned at 12:00 so as not to interrupt the symmetry and integrated looking strap underscore the elegance of the Rubaiyat. Summer (with a turquoise dial and blue topaz stones on the case) and fall (with synthetic red opal dial and rubies on the case) will be forthcoming.
