Key Features

• High-Accuracy Precisionist Movement: Powered by Bulova’s proprietary three-prong quartz crystal movement, this watch operates at a 262kHz vibrational frequency—eight times greater than standard quartz movements. This results in exceptional timekeeping accuracy with minimal deviation over time.
• 300m Water Resistance: Engineered for serious water exposure, the watch is rated for depths up to 300 meters. This makes it suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and other water-based activities, offering peace of mind in wet conditions.
• Durable Black Ion-Plated Stainless Steel Case: The case features a robust construction with angular faceting that defines the Icon collection’s signature look. The ion-plated finish enhances scratch resistance and provides a deep, long-lasting black luster.
• Curved Crystal and Screw-Down Crown: A curved sapphire-coated crystal improves visibility from multiple angles and adds impact resistance. The screw-down crown ensures a secure seal, contributing to the watch’s water resistance and overall durability.
• Multi-Layer Black Carbon Fiber Dial: The intricate dial features a carbon fiber texture with red accents, creating a dynamic, high-tech appearance. A red continuously sweeping second hand adds visual energy, while luminescent black hands and markers ensure readability in low-light conditions.
• Functional Chronograph and 24-Hour Track: The chronograph function allows for precise stopwatch timing, ideal for timing events or workouts. A 24-hour track on the dial provides additional timekeeping utility for those who need to track military or dual time formats.
• Curved Calendar Window: A uniquely shaped date window enhances the dial’s modern aesthetic while maintaining practical functionality for everyday use.
• Comfortable Black Silicone Strap with 3-Piece Buckle: The polyurethane strap offers a soft, flexible fit that conforms to the wrist, ideal for extended wear. The 3-piece buckle closure ensures a secure and adjustable fit for various wrist sizes.
