Key Features
- Automatic Movement – This watch is powered by an automatic (self-winding) mechanical movement, which eliminates the need for battery replacements. The movement is energized by the natural motion of the wearer’s wrist, ensuring consistent timekeeping as long as the watch is worn regularly. This traditional craftsmanship reflects Bulova’s commitment to precision and reliability, offering a seamless blend of innovation and classic watchmaking.
- Open Aperture Dial with Heartbeat Display – The gray dial features an innovative open aperture design that reveals the inner workings of the automatic movement, adding a dynamic visual element to the watch face. This “heartbeat” window not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also serves as a nod to the mechanical artistry behind the timepiece, allowing wearers to appreciate the intricate motion of the gears and rotor.
- 40-Hour Power Reserve – Even when not worn, the watch maintains its charge for up to 40 hours, ensuring accurate timekeeping over short periods of inactivity. This feature provides convenience and reliability, making it ideal for daily wear or weekend use without the need for manual winding.
- Double Curved Mineral Crystal – The watch is protected by a double curved mineral crystal, which offers enhanced durability and scratch resistance while providing a clear, distortion-free view of the dial. Its curved design follows the contour of the case, contributing to the watch’s sleek, aerodynamic profile and improving readability from various angles.
- Premium Leather Strap with E-133 Dress Buckle – The black leather strap is crafted for comfort and longevity, featuring a refined texture that complements the watch’s elegant design. Secured with a durable E-133 dress strap buckle, it ensures a secure and adjustable fit, making it suitable for a variety of wrist sizes and occasions.
