Bulova Unveils Rubaiyat “Winter” and Rubaiyat “Spring” in celebration of 150th Anniversary

Rubaiyat Winter

The new Rubaiyat “Winter” captivates with 42 white sapphires, totaling 0.25 ctw, which encircle the halo case and synthetic spinel cabochon crown, evoking the chill and beauty of a wintry landscape. Its mosaic dial, crafted from lustrous white mother-of-pearl, shimmers like freshly fallen snow, each one uniquely iridescent. The dial is further adorned with icicle-shaped faceted markers, enhancing its frosty elegance. Finished with a glossy white alligator-grain strap, this timepiece exudes an air of refined luxury and timeless sophistication. 

A NEW DIAL DESIGN

The central hour and minute hands are now diamond-cut, too; they and the central seconds hand are hand-polished, redone in the Alpha style to match the profile of the hour markers. The complete absence of Roman or Arabic numerals makes telling the time more intuitive. A new ‘railtrack’ minute circle bears witness to the accuracy of the hours and minutes indications, while an onion-type crown sits at 3 o’clock.

The highly minimalist ethos adopted for the dial has led to a full redesign of the hour markers, hands and minute circle. The applique hour markers are diamond-faceted, polished and slightly smaller at 5 and 7 o’clock, so as to give plenty of space to the date display and hand at 6 o’clock.

Poetic Significance

Rubaiyat is a name steeped in poetic significance and timeless elegance. First introduced in 1917, the Rubaiyat collection marked Bulova’s inaugural series of timepieces crafted exclusively for women. Rooted in Bulova's long-standing commitment to empowering femininity, today's Rubaiyat collection seamlessly merges contemporary design with the artistry of masterful craftsmanship.

Rubaiyat Spring

The Rubaiyat “Spring” beautifully captures the essence of the season with 42 pink sapphires, totaling 0.25 ctw, which gracefully encircle the halo case and synthetic spinel cabochon crown. The dial, crafted from pink quartzite, features unique patterns that make each piece one-of-a-kind, while floral-shaped faceted markers add a delicate, nature-inspired touch. Complemented by a pink alligator-grain leather strap, this luxurious timepiece is a timeless addition to any collection, radiating elegance and springtime charm.

THREE COLOR OPTIONS

The first variation comes on a chocolate-brown alligator strap, with a salmon dial and silver hour markers and hands. The date and minute indications are black to ensure optimum readability. The same logic applies to the second option, with a silver sunburst dial on a navy blue alligator strap. The third model adopts a more contemporary contrast with a silver case, hands and hour markers and an all-black sunburst dial borne atop a matching alligator strap.
