The Bulova Men's Marine Star Calendar Watch features handsome angles and edges for a sharp look. A water-resistant black rubber band is enhanced by angled edges and joins to a gold-tone stainless steel case with a similar angled design. An octagonal black frame is topped by a gold-tone stainless steel bezel that features black screw-down accents and fashionable side cuts. A black dial displays stick and Arabic numeral minute markers, silver-toned Roman numeral and shape hour indicators, as well as a Bulova logo at the 12 o'clock position. Three subdials, a date window at the four o'clock position, and luminous skeleton hands complete the appeal of this fine timepiece. The Bulova Men's Marine Star Calendar Watch is water resistant to 330 feet.

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hublot Big Bang Look Alike, June 14, 2009

This review is from: Bulova Men's 98B104 Marine Star Calendar Watch (Watch)

I bought this watch at Christmas because it looks so much like the Hublot Big Bang watch that costs $25,000. From a few feet away it looks identical and some friends thought that I was wearing the Hublot. It is a bit heavy but you would expect that from a watch of this size with a heavy rubber watch band. Some may find the band uncomfortable. It doesn't fit under some dress shirts so I typically wear it only when I dress casually. I do not think that anyone would be disappointed with this watch for the price (it is easy to find for much less that the $425.00 suggested price).

4.0 out of 5 stars Quite a stunner...but, February 15, 2010

Quite a piece of work, heavy, thick, fine detail, very substantial rubber wrist band. This is alot of watch and your going to need a lot of wrist to wear it well. Now this is subjective but if your wrist is medium or less in diameter, this watch is going to swallow, for lack of a better word, your wrist. Also I didn't find the rubber wrist band very comfortable to wear. I found myself constantly adjusting it. It's also a struggle to get the thing off. That said, it truely is a impressive looking piece.

I bought this watch for my husband for Valentines day. He saw it in a magazine and commented how cool it looked. I thought I'd surprise him and ordered it. Not only was it about $100 less than ordering it from the Bulova site but the watch was beautiful and looks exactly like its image! I wish I could have captured my husband's face when he opened the gift. The only thing I had to do was set the time and wind it up so that the date matched...Thanks Amazon....came through again!!
