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

High Quality But Needs A Few Improvements
This is a high quality timepiece/chrono, something we came to expect from Bulova. It has a hefty, solid feel to it and it looks extremely well on medium and large wrists. The metal (case, dial, and band) are nice and rich-shiny so it could pass as a nice dress watch -- pretty much this piece is wearable in almost any situation or with any clothes. A few pragmatic improvements in the dial design area I'd suggest:
1. increase the contrast between the skeleton hands and the dial background (the contrast is somewhat weak).
2. increase the horizontal size of the date window just a touch (in dates that contain two digits, like 12, 13, etc., the flat line 1s are too close to edge and hard to see them under certain angles).
3. apply some type of illumination for night/darkness viewing (no illumination on this type of watch is somewhat puzzling).

NOTE: It doesn't say in the watch description on this site, but the long hand that is usually associated with the second hand on non-chrono watches is actually the chrono hand while the second hand is in the small sub-dial at 6 o'clock.

Overall, a very nice Japanese quartz quality watch with a touch of class that fits any active lifestyle.
