Product Description

The Bulova Story
In 1875, a young Czech immigrant named Joseph Bulova set up shop in New York City, and a legendary American watch brand was born. Bulova was trained as a jeweler, and his expertise carried over into his watchmaking career, which began around 1911 with boudoir clocks and pocket watches, and soon evolved to include what was then one of the latest and most fashionable technological innovations: the wristwatch.
Bulova introduced its first line of wristwatches in 1919. The company grew and prospered, and soon early radio and television ads were declaring, "America runs on Bulova time." In the 1950s, continuing its legacy of innovation, Bulova introduced Accutron, the first electronic watch, and the first breakthrough in timekeeping technology in over 300 years. The Accutron timing mechanism was later adapted for use by NASA computers and a Bulova timer was even placed on the moon to control transmissions of data. Bulova timepieces have kept official time aboard Air Force One and have also served as official timepieces for U.S. Olympic teams.
Today, Bulova maintains its tradition of excellence in technology and design, offering a diverse collection of beautiful precision timepieces for every occasion.
From Bulova, the Men's Marine Star Black Dial Bracelet Watch 98B131 shows off traditional looks infused with bold, contemporary details. This timepiece's face brings together a crisp black dial, a combination of tapered stick indexes and round indexes, white sword hour and minute hands with luminous accents, an orange second hand, a date window between four and five o'clock, and a trim second/minute tracker on the outer dial. The face is protected by a dependable mineral crystal, and it is framed by a stainless steel unidirectional bezel that showcases a black finish and bold white markers, including Arabic numerals at 15-minute intervals. Also offering a stainless steel case and stainless steel bracelet band, this watch is held in place by a fold-over clasp with a double-push-button safety, and it is powered by Japanese quartz movement. This adventure-ready timepiece offers a screw back, and it is water resistant to 656 feet (200 meters).

Customer Reviews

I just received this watch as a gift. It is first and foremost a great timekeeping instrument. The second hand is precise and lands and lines up correctly with each tick.
I like the screw down crown which gives added protection during water activities.
The hands and face of the watch have super bright illumination in the dark, making it very easy to read at night.
The rotating bezel is convenient and easy to use as a timer.
The look of the watch itself is sporty, polished, and dignified. Can be worn on a suit, with jeans, or even with shorts. An everyday watch with class.
The weight of the watch is a bit heavy but one gets used to it.
Other metal band watches have tended to pull the hair out of my arms. This watch, with it's metal band, has yet to do so. Fits very comfortably.
I'm hoping to wear this watch for years to come.

This is simply a well built quartz watch that pays homage to the Rolex Submariner at a fraction of the price. Don't get me wrong. This is NO Rolex Submariner in any capabilities or quality likeness. But its very obvious that Bulova took some cues from the Submariner in the looks dept when making this watch. This watch is what is. A well built watch at a good price. For under $160.00 its not bad. These are selling at the malls for a higher price. The Invicta brand also makes some of their watches in homage to the Submariner. I purchased an Invicta at Costco. Within six months the crown fell out while changing the time. Invicta watches really lack in quality. This Bulova 98B131 is way above Invicta in the same price range. Overall Workmanship and quality is much better compared to other watches in this price range. The case and bracelet is a good size. Not too big and not too small. Weight is perfect. Not too light and not too heavy. Ofcourse unless you like heavy or very light watches. One thing Bulova can improve on this watch is the lume or lack of. Hard to see at night. You can wear this watch with anything. It makes an EXCELLENT daily beater watch if you dont want to wear your plus seven thousand dollar luxury watch. Get one. You will be impressed.
