Key Features
- High-Accuracy Precisionist Movement: Powered by Bulova’s proprietary 8-jewel quartz mechanism, this watch vibrates at an exceptional 262kHz frequency, delivering remarkable accuracy to within seconds per year. The movement also offers increased resistance to temperature fluctuations, ensuring consistent performance in varying environments.

- Sapphire Crystal with Anti-Reflective Coating: The sapphire crystal provides superior scratch resistance and clarity, protecting the dial while maintaining excellent visibility in bright conditions.
- Unidirectional Ceramic Bezel: The timing bezel features a ceramic insert for enhanced durability and a smooth, precise rotation. Its unidirectional design supports safe dive timing by allowing only counterclockwise movement.
- Luminous Dial and Hands: The brown dial, inspired by ocean waves, features applied hour markers and bold hands—all treated with luminescent material for clear readability in low-light or underwater conditions.
- Wave-Inspired Brown Dial: The rich brown dial showcases a subtle wave pattern that echoes the movement of the sea, adding depth and character to the watch’s design.
- Red-Tipped Seconds Hand: A vibrant red tip on the seconds hand provides a subtle pop of color and enhances visual tracking as it sweeps smoothly across the dial.

Important Notes
For warranty information regarding this product, please refer to the manufacturer’s official guidelines. The watch is designed for water resistance up to 200 meters, but should not be used for high-impact water sports or deep-sea diving beyond recommended limits. Avoid exposing the crown or buttons to pressure while submerged. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soap is recommended to maintain the appearance of the case and strap. The silicone strap may degrade over time with prolonged exposure to saltwater or UV light—rinsing after saltwater use is advised.
