The Bulova Story

In 1875, a young Czech immigrant named Joseph Bulova set up shop in New York City, and a legendary American watch brand was born. Bulova was trained as a jeweler, and his expertise carried over into his watchmaking career, which began around 1911 with boudoir clocks and pocket watches, and soon evolved to include what was then one of the latest and most fashionable technological innovations: the wristwatch.

Bulova introduced its first line of wristwatches in 1919. The company grew and prospered, and soon early radio and television ads were declaring, "America runs on Bulova time." In the 1950s, continuing its legacy of innovation, Bulova introduced Accutron, the first electronic watch, and the first breakthrough in timekeeping technology in over 300 years. The Accutron timing mechanism was later adapted for use by NASA computers and a Bulova timer was even placed on the moon to control transmissions of data. Bulova timepieces have kept official time aboard Air Force One and have also served as official timepieces for U.S. Olympic teams.

Today, Bulova maintains its tradition of excellence in technology and design, offering a diverse collection of beautiful precision timepieces for every occasion.

This review is from: Bulova Men's 96B101 Marine Star Calendar Watch (Watch)

This watch has a slide rule bezel, known to aviators as an E6B. An E6B is used to do time/distance calculations, among other things. I collect E6B watches. First thing I did with this watch when it arrived was to use the E6B to divide 60 by 20. The answer, according to this watch, is 3.6. Any E6B that doesn't come up with exactly 3, is useless. So I returned this piece of junk immediately. Other features of this watch? Who cares? If the watch has an E6B bezel that isn't accurate, I don't think the watch is worth investigating further. With so many nice accurate E6B watches available in any price range, I feel there's no excuse for manufacturing or selling something like this. Examples of great-for-the-price E6B watches would be Casio Edifice Chronograph EF-527D-5AVDF - WW or Casio Edifice Chronograph EF-527D-7AVDF - WW.
