Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
A curved crystal and clean, classic design immediately distinguishes the Men's Black Tortoise Shell Leather Watch from Bulova. Featuring the precision of quartz movement, this casual watch has silver-tone hands and indexes, small black second markers, and an analog date display window on a straightforward white dial. Sturdy stainless steel construction from bezel to crown lends durability, while a supple black leather strap ensures comfortable longterm wear. Handsome and versatile, this Bulova original is water resistant to 99 feet, is both shock-resistant and anti-magnetic, and has a distortion-free, scratch-resistant crystal to guard against wear and tear.
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.

Nice vintage looking watch,

This review is from: Bulova Men's 96B47 Black Tortoise Shell Leather Strap Watch (Watch)
I'm fond of tank style watches and was on the look-out for a silver one with a black band. This one seemed to fill the bill. It's a good looking watch with classic lines. The design is simple but elegant and not too flashy. In fact, it is quite understated compared to many watches I've seen. One thing though, the watch is somewhat small. I had to double check to see if I hadn't received the woman's version by mistake. Compared to a Kenneth Cole tank watch I own, it's half as thick and maybe two-thirds the size. I was afraid it wouldn't look right as I have large hands and wrists. But after trying it on, it actually looks pretty good. It is certainly unobtrusive. On the negative side, the date window is tiny. It's difficult for my fifty year old eyes to read. I haven't owned it long enough to judge it's durability, but based on appearances and Bulova's reputation, it should hold up well.

This watch was a present; my grandson's first watch. It is small enough to fit (almost perfect) yet is easy to read.

Classic Looking,

This review is from: Bulova Men's 96B47 Black Tortoise Shell Leather Strap Watch (Watch)
When I asked my dad what he wanted for his birthday, he said he wanted a watch that had clean lines and was "classic" looking. After browsing in many stores and online, I kept coming back to this Bulova. It is sleek, yet substantial. It is a good size, not overly large as some men's watches can be. My dad's reaction to the watch was great. He loved it and said it was the best gift he's ever received. He has since mentioned that he wears it nearly daily and that it goes well with his business attire and casual wear. Overall, I think this Bulova was a great choice and with the company's reputation, I know my dad will have this watch for a very long time.
