Caravelle by Bulova Men’s min/ Max Quartz Black Ion Plated
Product Overview
The Caravelle by Bulova Men’s 45C116 watch blends modern design with everyday functionality, creating a timepiece that transitions seamlessly from office wear to weekend outings. At its heart is a deep-water blue sunray dial that radiates subtle elegance, catching light with a refined shimmer that enhances both visibility and visual appeal. The minimalist hour markers contribute to a clean, uncluttered face, ensuring the watch remains easy to read at a glance. Powered by precise quartz movement, this watch delivers consistent accuracy with minimal upkeep. Its five-hand multifunction display includes hour, minute, and second hands, along with two subdials—one for the date and another for 24-hour timekeeping—offering practical utility for those who need more than just standard time display. Encased in black ion-plated stainless steel and paired with a matching bracelet, the 45C116 presents a cohesive, polished look that complements both casual and professional attire.
Key Features
- Deep Blue Sunray Dial – The dial’s rich blue hue is enhanced by a sunray finish that subtly shifts in different lighting, adding depth and dimension. Paired with minimalist hour markers, it maintains a sleek, modern aesthetic while ensuring clear readability throughout the day.
- Five-Hand Multifunction Display – Beyond standard timekeeping, this watch features subdials for both date and 24-hour format. The 24-hour subdial is especially useful for professionals in fields like aviation, logistics, or military service, where tracking time in a 24-hour cycle is essential. The date window provides everyday convenience for keeping track of appointments and schedules.
- Black Ion-Plated Stainless Steel Construction – Both the case and bracelet are made from durable stainless steel treated with a black ion plating. This finish not only delivers a contemporary, stealthy appearance but also resists scratches and daily wear, helping the watch maintain its sharp look over time.
- Double-Push Fold-Over Closure – The bracelet secures with a double-push fold-over clasp, offering a snug, reliable fit that stays in place during movement. The mechanism is designed for ease of use—simple to fasten and remove—while ensuring the watch remains securely on the wrist.
- Quartz Movement – Reliable and low-maintenance, the quartz movement ensures accurate timekeeping with minimal deviation. A single product-specific battery is included and powers the watch efficiently, requiring only occasional replacement.
