Key Features

• Automatic Skeleton Movement: Powered by a 21-jewel automatic movement, this watch eliminates the need for a battery by harnessing the motion of the wearer’s wrist. The skeletonized design reveals the intricate gears and components in motion, offering a dynamic view of mechanical precision.
• Silver-Tone Stainless Steel Case (40mm): The 40mm case is crafted from durable stainless steel with a silver-tone finish, combining strength with a sleek, modern aesthetic. Its sculptural form and blended surface finishes enhance visual depth and wrist presence.
• Open Skeleton Dial with Blue Accents: The multi-layered dial features applied blue indices and matching hands filled with luminescent material for visibility in low light. The open design exposes the movement beneath, emphasizing the watch’s mechanical complexity and artisanal appeal.
• Anti-Reflective Domed Sapphire Crystal: A domed sapphire crystal protects the dial while minimizing glare. Known for its scratch resistance and optical clarity, this crystal ensures the watch face remains pristine and easy to read under various lighting conditions.
• Blue Alligator-Embossed Leather Strap: The strap is made from high-quality leather with a refined alligator texture, offering comfort and a premium look. Its deep blue hue complements the dial and adds a touch of elegance to the overall design.
• 42-Hour Power Reserve: Once fully wound, the automatic movement can run for up to 42 hours without additional motion, making it practical for daily wear and reducing the need for frequent adjustments.
• Water Resistance to 30 Meters: The watch is water resistant to 30 meters (98 feet), suitable for brief splashes, handwashing, or light rain, but not recommended for swimming or diving.

Important Notes

While the watch is water resistant to 30 meters, it should not be submerged in water or worn during swimming, showering, or water sports. Prolonged exposure to moisture can compromise the integrity of the movement and seals. To maintain optimal performance, it is recommended to have the watch serviced periodically by an authorized Bulova technician. The leather strap may require conditioning over time to preserve its texture and appearance. Always refer to the manufacturer’s warranty guidelines for coverage details and service instructions.
