Caravell Watches - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support
Date set
The winding stem of the caravelle has two positions when pulled outward from the case. Pulling it full out lets you set the time. And, by rotating the hands through successive twenty-four hour periods it resets the day of the week. Pulling the stem halfway out allows you to set the month, but only if you rotate the stem in a counterclockwise direction..
Vintage Caravelle runs fast
A quick look at ebay shows plenty of Bulova watches and only a few looking for a worthwhile price.
I think if you have it repaired for sale it probably won't be worth the effort or expense. If the watch has sentimental or nostalgia value to you I think that is what would make it worth getting a good watchmaker to look at it.
Today is Tuesday, March 8.
do not pull the stem all the way just half way out. Turn clock wises the date should move. move to correct date. counter clock wises for the day. For the analog hold down the set mode button until it starts to blinking to change number with the start and stop. to change what is blinking press the mode button
How do I remove the back of my Caravelle by Bulova
There is a special gear type tool with prongs on it that rotate the back of the watch off (turn to left to take off, right to replace). If you don't have one, take the watch in to a jeweler's and they will replace the battery for little or nothing, usually.
Good luck, and hope this helps.
How do I remove the back of my Bulova Accutron
mcdevito75 here, You will need a screwdriver to use in the slot for the battery cover or a coin, once you have the tool for the slot turn the cover just a bit and lift it off to get to the battery.
