Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Sleek lines and aerodynamic styling give this watch a distinctly modern appeal, and the features are just as state-of-the-art. A contoured brushed steel case blends seamlessly into a brushed and polished steel link bracelet. The fully integrated bezel houses a sleek black dial with an Arabic numeral 12, luminous hands and bar markers, an alarm subdial, and an alarm signal indicator. The dual alarm mode allows you to choose between the 15-second sound alarm and the more discreet 20-second vibrating alarm. This watch features precise quartz movement and a scratch-resistant domed crystal; it fastens securely with a foldover clasp and safety bar. Water-resistant to 100 meters, it is suitable for swimming and poolside diving.

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 96A17 Millennia Watch (Watch)

I have owned this watch for about 4 years now.

Difficult to discern in photo, the face has a very dark vertical striped pattern.

Best feature of this watch is clearly the vibrating alarm, works like a charm. Switch to beep if desired.

Worst feature might be the band, which is prone to scratches on clasp side.


Do not buy if you are fond of incredibly large watches.

Excellent timepiece, great quality.
