Product Description

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 Women's 96P003 Diamond Dial Chronograph Watch (Watch)

This is the watch I was looking for!

The dial is white, without color reflections like you can see with mother of pearl. I also love the design of the numbers 4,8 and 12, the rest are little diamonds.

The 3 chronographs are: 60-minute timer, 24 hour hand, and at the bottom second hand. At first I thought the second hand is the long hand like you see on every watch, but this is 60 second stopwatch. It`s always at 12 o`clock position (if you want to measure seconds you have to push the top button at the right, if you want to reset push the 3rd on the right and it goes rapidly to 12 o`clock again). The instructions are very easy, I actually set the watch without reading.

The band is very nice too, I got 2 links removed and now fits perfectly. It has hidden clasp so it won`t scratch or pull any fabric. Although my watch was a little bit dusty (maybe a display model before), I am happy. I removed the dirt with a q-tip. The stainless steel is very shiny. The weight is just perfect; not heavy at all, but of course not light like titanium watches. Shipping was fast. Now I`m checking the time, if everything works like suppose to.

My husband also likes this watch. Its more classic yet modern than others with a similar style but more 'bling' factor (f.e.Bulova 96R19 or Invicta 4718-those are nice, but I wasn`t crazy about them and I didn`t want any bling PLUS Invicta is way to heavy with invisible diamonds). Great with jeans, but will work for an elegant dress too. It`s not too big (like my Casio Baby-G), but I was looking for a little bit oversized. It won`t go out of style, it`s simple but not boring.

I`m gonna love it for a long time!

Update April 2009- the watch looks awesome in the sun, shines like a fine piece of jewelry. I have a lots of compliments! Still loving my watch!:)

Hi, I bought this watch from Amazon last November as my wife's b'day present. She had been looking for a good chronograph that was not too big, smart and that goes with office as well as casual attires. I looked through many watched but I chose this one for its design and neat interface. It is also not cluttered with too many diamonds. She really liked this watch and prefers it over her more expensive watches.

I absolutly love this watch! I looked for a long time before I decided on this one and it was a perfect match to what I wanted. The size is perfect, not too big and not too small. The face is white instead of mother of pearl which I like better because it's crisp and easy to read. The jeweler who removed some links for me comented on how nice it was. The diamonds are very nice not over done yet not cheep looking. I will add a picture of the watch on my wrist as it would have helped me alot in choosing. I would recommend this watch to anyone looking for a chronograph thats not too big for a ladies wrist. Love It Lisa
