Buren is sometimes referred to as " Grand Prix ", but this term is in fact generic at Buren and does not correspond to any particular model.
Buren didn't start naming its models until 1953 with the Rotowind model, although this is actually the name of the caliber, not the watch.
- Buren Rotowind
There are many versions of this automatic watch launched in 1953, the caliber having been designed to equip both men's and ladies' watches.
1953
Four dial versions are available, with or without power reserve, and with seconds hand in the center or at 6 o'clock. The cases are always round and classic in shape.
Watches equipped with the Rotowind caliber were produced for a relatively short period, due to the introduction of the micro-rotor caliber in 1958.
- Buren calendar
This very elegant watch featured a full calendar with date per hand, day, month and moon phases.
Launched in parallel with the first Buren automatic caliber in 1950, it was only produced for a short period, and is quite rare.
- Buren Super Slender
1959
This model is equipped with the first Buren micro-rotor caliber, launched in 1958. It's a watch with a very classic design, round and straight handles, with center seconds.
- Buren Starlite
Launched in 1962, the Starlite model is a new version of the Super Slender, this time with a date window at 3 o'clock and a steel bracelet.
The date is set by moving the hands back and forth between 11:30 pm and midnight.
The design is still extremely classic.
- Buren Intra Matic
This is the model equipped with the 2nd Buren micro-rotor caliber, launched in 1965. This watch was available with or without date, with round or square-cambered case.
In 1966, a new square-cambered version was called Polestar, no doubt in response to Universal's Polerouter, which also benefited from a new micro-rotor movement.
This was the last model presented by Buren.
