About Bulova
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.

Customer Reviews

Really Beautiful Watch
I bought this watch as a gift for my husband. He actually recieved two watches this year, this one for his birthday, and a Seiko Kinetic for Christmas.
He really likes the Bulova! It's a casual watch, the carbon fiber accents on the band and around the face are really stand-outs! He wears it to work every day, he's a General Contractor, so it takes a beating! So far, no damage, not even a scratch! He has gotten LOTS of compliments on it though!
I shopped around for this watch and found it in local jewelry stores for as high as $585.00. I paid a fraction of that here at Amazon.
Excellent Price! If you've been looking for a casual Bulova at a great price...this is the one!!!

AWESOME!
AWESOME PRICE FOR AN AWESOME TIMEPIECE! I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THIS WATCH. MY WIFE JUST GAVE ME THIS WATCH THIS MORNING FOR CHRISTMAS AND I'M ECSTATIC. FROM THE COLOR, TO THE BESSEL, TO THE BAND YOU CAN'T GO WRONG. GREAT QUALITY; A 5 STAR ITEM.

Real Carbon Fiber gives it a sporty look!
The only aspect of this watch that dissapoints me is the lack of a perpetual calendar, but that set aside, if you can find this watch for under $200 then it's a great deal! It keeps excellent time for a Japanese quartz. It's a bit heavy but no heavier then most diver chronographs. The band has a bit of a brushed look and the area around the carbon fiber bezel is brushed stainless steel so it's dull looking (nice!). The pins on the side all have inlaid carbon fiber. It has a look of a $300 watch but definitely not a $1000 watch, so if you think you're getting something that looks very expensive, then you're not. This is a perfect durable chronograph with "sporty" looks. I wouldn't wear it as a dress watch but definitely an "every-day" watch that will get noticed by your fellow watch connoisseurs. Keep an eye out on Ashford.com or TheWatchery.com because I found this watch around Christmas time for $145 on Ashford.com.
