Key Features
- Automatic Movement: Powered entirely by the kinetic energy of your wrist, this self-winding mechanism ensures continuous operation as long as the watch is worn regularly. No batteries required—just consistent motion keeps it ticking with precision.
- Open Aperture Dial: A distinctive cutout on the black dial reveals the watch’s beating heart—the escapement and balance wheel—offering a mesmerizing glimpse into the mechanical soul of the timepiece. This feature not only enhances visual appeal but also celebrates the artistry of traditional watchmaking.
- Hack Feature: When setting the time, the second hand stops precisely, allowing for exact synchronization with a reference clock. This small but significant detail ensures accuracy for those who value punctuality and precision in their daily routines.
- Rose Gold-Tone Stainless Steel Case: Measuring 41mm in width and length, the case is crafted from durable, corrosion-resistant stainless steel with a warm rose gold finish. Its size is substantial enough to make a statement yet balanced for comfortable all-day wear.
- Brown Leather Strap with Dress Buckle: Made from genuine leather, the strap develops a unique patina over time, enhancing its character. The classic dress buckle ensures a secure and polished fit, complementing the watch’s refined aesthetic.
- Domed Mineral Crystal: The gently curved crystal offers enhanced scratch resistance and improved readability by reducing glare. Its domed shape adds a subtle vintage touch while protecting the dial from daily wear and tear.
- Tuning Fork Logo: A hallmark of Bulova’s legacy, the tuning fork emblem appears on the dial—a nod to the brand’s pioneering spirit and commitment to innovation in timekeeping since 1875.
