About the Brand
Caravelle is a sub-brand of Bulova introduced in 1962 to offer stylish, Swiss-made watches at an affordable price point. Caravelle watches combined reliable mechanical or quartz movements with accessible design, making them popular for everyday wear and mid-century dress pieces. The brand focused on classic, elegant styles without the luxury price tag of Bulova’s main line. Today, Caravelle watches are appreciated by collectors for their vintage charm and quality Swiss craftsmanship.
