Bulova Ladies’ Crystal Phantom 3-Hand, Small Second Hand

Product Overview

The Bulova Ladies’ Crystal Phantom 3-Hand Quartz Watch blends timeless elegance with everyday practicality, creating a refined accessory designed for the modern woman. At its heart lies a genuine mother-of-pearl dial, which catches the light with a soft, shifting iridescence—subtle yet captivating, like the surface of a pearl under morning sun. This luminous dial is framed by a delicately contoured case and a bezel adorned with precisely set crystals, offering just the right amount of sparkle to elevate any outfit without overpowering it. The overall aesthetic strikes a perfect balance between understated sophistication and feminine charm, making it equally at home in a boardroom or at a dinner date.

Powered by dependable quartz movement, this timepiece ensures consistent accuracy, so you can rely on it to keep pace with your busy schedule. The three-hand display—hour, minute, and sweeping second hands—provides clear, intuitive readability, while the inclusion of a small seconds subdial adds a touch of classic watchmaking detail often reserved for more expensive timepieces. This functional element not only enhances precision but also contributes to the watch’s refined mechanical character.

Weighing just 8 ounces and measuring 7 x 5 x 7 inches, the watch is thoughtfully sized for comfort without sacrificing presence. Its lightweight build allows for all-day wear, whether you’re typing at your desk, running errands, or enjoying an evening out. The design respects feminine proportions, with a case and bracelet that sit gracefully on the wrist and complement a range of sizes and styles.

Key Features

• Mother-of-Pearl Dial – Crafted from genuine mother-of-pearl, the dial exhibits a natural luminescence that changes subtly with the angle of light. This organic material gives each watch a unique shimmer, ensuring no two dials look exactly alike. The soft hues—often blending white, pink, and blue undertones—add depth and elegance, making the watch face a focal point of quiet luxury.
• Quartz Movement with 3-Hand Display – The quartz movement delivers reliable, low-maintenance timekeeping with minimal deviation, so you can trust it to stay accurate over time. The three hands—hour, minute, and seconds—are clearly defined and easy to read, even at a glance, supporting both functionality and visual clarity.
• Small Seconds Sub-Dial – Positioned at the 6 o’clock position, the small seconds subdial offers continuous tracking of the passing seconds. This feature not only enhances precision but also adds a classic horological touch, reflecting traditional watchmaking craftsmanship in a modern, accessible format.
• Crystal-Accented Bezel – The fixed bezel is set with multiple small crystals, carefully arranged to catch and reflect light with every movement of the wrist. These accents provide a refined sparkle that enhances the watch’s feminine appeal without being ostentatious, making it suitable for both casual and formal settings.
• Lightweight and Comfortable Design – Despite its elegant appearance, the watch is designed for comfort. At just 8 ounces and with compact dimensions, it sits lightly on the wrist, reducing fatigue during extended wear. The bracelet and case are proportioned to suit smaller wrists while maintaining a confident, polished look.
• Designed for Women – As part of Bulova’s dedicated women’s collection, this model emphasizes refined details, delicate proportions, and a harmonious blend of form and function. It’s crafted to complement a variety of personal styles, from minimalist to romantic, and pairs beautifully with other jewelry.
