Amazon.com Product Description
A great everyday watch, this sporty Bulova Marine Star stainless steel men's watch will also stand up to the rigors of recreational scuba diving, with water resistance to 200 meters (660 feet). It features a silver watch case with a satin finish that measures 37mm wide (1.46 inches), and it's topped by a black-plated unidirectional rotating bezel with silver elapsed time markings and coin-edged detailing for a sure grip when diving. The black dial face is complemented by round, silver-outlined luminous markers, large luminous hands (with red-tipped seconds hand), small minute indexes, and a day/date window at 3 o'clock. It's completed by a comfortable black rubber strap. Other features include a hardened mineral crystal and screw-down caseback and crown.

How to Use the Elapsed Time Bezel
If your watch is equipped with a rotating outer dial with one-minute graduations, this can be used in various ways to check elapsed time. For example if you're diving and have a 30-minute air supply, you can set the outer ring so that the bezel's starting point is in line with the minute hand when you first submerge. The minute hand will then indicate on the outer ring the length of time that you've been under water and when you should safely begin to resurface.

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.
