Key Features
- Automatic Movement – This watch is powered entirely by kinetic energy generated from your wrist’s movement. As you go about your day, the rotor inside the movement spins and winds the mainspring, storing energy to keep the watch running. No batteries are needed, and with regular wear, the watch maintains accurate timekeeping. If left unworn for several days, it may require a gentle manual winding to restart.
- Silver-Tone Stainless Steel Case and Bracelet – Both the 7-inch case and the integrated bracelet are crafted from high-grade stainless steel with a polished silver finish. This material offers excellent resistance to corrosion, scratches, and daily wear, ensuring the watch retains its sleek appearance over time. The bracelet is designed for comfort and durability, with a secure clasp that stays in place throughout the day.
- Marine Star Collection Heritage – As part of Bulova’s Marine Star line, the 98A302 carries forward a tradition of nautical-inspired design and rugged reliability. The collection is known for combining sporty durability with refined styling, making it a favorite among those who appreciate watches with both character and substance.
- Classic Analog Dial – The watch features a traditional analog display with clearly defined hour markers and hands. The straightforward layout ensures quick, easy reading of the time, while the clean design maintains a timeless appeal that transcends trends.
- Secure and Comfortable Fit – The stainless steel bracelet includes a reliable clasp mechanism that provides a snug, secure fit on the wrist. Designed for all-day wear, it balances comfort with stability, so you can wear it confidently whether you’re typing at a desk or on the move.
