New Year, New Watch

Adam Szafranski — Thu, 11 Jan 2024 14:00:54 +0000

Boasting a rose gold-tone stainless-steel case, a curved silhouette, and a captivating “root beer” bezel. This timepiece and its black dial features rose gold accents, luminescent markers, bold hands, and a date display. Better yet, it’s driven by a self-winding GMT movement that holds a 42-hour reserve, all paired with a matching three-link bracelet. Currently […]

Bulova x D-CAVE Computron

Amos Kwon — Sun, 12 Mar 2023 14:19:43 +0000

This revised black and green Bulova Computron is the result of a collaboration with D-CAVE, the digital lifestyle hub. Rather than the base gold and silver models, this one gets clad in matte black over stainless steel and reduces the number of case grooves down to five and swaps out the metal bracelet for a […]

Bulova Lunar Pilot Archive Series

Amos Kwon — Fri, 24 Feb 2023 15:04:55 +0000

The Lunar Pilot might not be as legendary as the Omega Speedmaster Moon Watch, largely because it was a personal and unauthorized timepiece worn by astronaut Dave Scott when his Speedmaster malfunctioned during the 1971 Apollo 15 mission. Nevertheless, the Lunar Pilot is remembered as a space-worthy watch, but for some it’s just too damn […]

Accutron Astronaut “T” Limited Edition

Amos Kwon — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 15:19:57 +0000

The Bulova Accutron Astronaut from the 1960s is historic. A little bit before the onset of the all-devouring quartz watch emerged, Bulova made a tuning fork-powered watch that maintained +/- 2-second per day accuracy, unheard of in the world of mechanical watches. It was even used by CIA pilots in the A-12 spy plane. The […]

Bulova “Parking Meter” Chronograph

Amos Kwon — Thu, 14 Jul 2022 14:27:52 +0000

We didn’t see this watch coming, mostly because we’d never heard of it. Bulova reached into its archives to recreate the “Parking Meter” Chronograph, so named due to the distinct framing of its two subdials. The bullhead-style quartz timepiece also has top-mounted chrono pushers and a crown at the 6 o’clock position, all of which […]

Bulova MIL-SHIPS-W-2181 Submersible

Amos Kwon — Thu, 02 Sep 2021 14:09:01 +0000

Bulova has just resurrected a watch that never really was, at least for the layman. The MIL-SHIPS Diver was a prototype created for testing with the U.S. Navy’s Explosive Ordnance Divers and Underwater Demolition Team in 1957, but it never saw the light of production. Now, the new MIL-SHIPS-W-2181 is for sale to the public, […]

Bulova 50th Anniversary Apollo 15 Lunar Pilot

Amos Kwon — Tue, 03 Aug 2021 14:26:04 +0000

Don’t call the Lunar Pilot the poor man’s Omega Speedmaster (even though it kinda is). The watch has an illustrious history of its own, having been worn by Apollo mission commander Gary Scott on his moonwalk and Lunar Rover drive. This week, Bulova is commemorating Apollo 15’s half-century mark with a special version of the […]

Bulova is Releasing Vintage Inspired Versions of their Iconic Surfboard Watch

Ben Dahl — Wed, 18 Mar 2020 14:26:25 +0000

When it comes to style, everything vintage is new again, and Bulova has wholeheartedly embraced that movement with an entirely new line of Chrongraph A “surfboard” watches. Inspired by the iconic “Surfboard” diver chronographs of the 1970s–so nicknamed “Surfboard” on account of the distinctive color swatch on the face that encircled the two sub dials–this […]

Bulova Is Re-Releasing the Futuristic Computron Watch

Ben Dahl — Thu, 28 Mar 2019 14:40:45 +0000

Decades ago, Bulova made some pretty significant waves in the watch world with their all-digital Computron LED watch. The all-gold, trapezoidal shaped watch with digital display on the side was as unconventional as it was functional as a driver’s watch because you wouldn’t have to turn your hand or take it off the steering wheel […]

Bulova for J. Crew Air Warden Watch

Ben Dahl — Fri, 30 Jan 2015 15:20:24 +0000

Bulova watches hold a special place in the hearts of many men and women for a lot of different reasons. They look good. They perform well. They’re historic (they’ve been to the moon!). Most importantly, the price tag attached was still affordable enough that they became gifts for birthdays, holidays, and graduations for many. In […]
