Bulova watches

Bulova Lunar Pilot – the watch that went to the moon

On August 2, 1971, astronaut Dave Scott wore a Bulova chronograph on the lunar surface during the Apollo 15 mission after his NASA-issued Omega Speedmaster stopped working. The original was sold at auction in 2015 for $1.6 million and is the basis for today's re-issue Bulova Lunar Pilot 96K115. The model features a 44mm steel case, a high-frequency 262 kHz quartz movement, a tachymeter, and often comes with both leather and NATO straps. See the entire series among our chronograph watches.

Bulova Precisionist – 262 kHz quartz technology

Launched in 2010, Precisionist is Bulova's signature quartz watch technology. While a regular quartz watch oscillates at 32 kHz, the Precisionist operates at 262 kHz – eight times higher frequency. The result is an accuracy of about ±10 seconds per year and a smoothly sweeping second hand instead of ticking in steps. The series is suitable for those who want an automatic-like feel without having to wind the watch. Explore models in our men's watch category.

Bulova Marine Star – sporty design with a diver's feel

Marine Star is Bulova's sports series with water resistance from 100 meters (10 ATM) up to 300 meters depending on the model. Popular references such as 98B203 and 98A227 feature a steel case, rotating bezel, and chronograph function. The series works equally well with a suit as with swimwear and is an affordable alternative to more expensive dive watches. Read more in our guide to dive watches.

Bulova Curv – the world's first curved chronograph movement

Introduced in 2016, Bulova Curv is the industry's first curved chronograph movement. By curving the movement itself, the watch case can be made thinner and follow the wrist's shape more closely than a traditional flat module. The series combines a sporty chronograph with an elegant profile in 40–44 mm steel or titanium. Curv is a good choice for those who appreciate technology that genuinely enhances wearing comfort, not just on the spec sheet. See also other automatic watches.

Bulova Classic and Sutton – dress watches for everyday and special occasions

The Classic series gathers Bulova's thin dress watches with Roman numerals, leather straps, and a steel case around 40 mm. Sutton adds an open dial where you can see the automatic movement at work – an affordable entry-level option in mechanical watches. Both series are suitable for suits, workplaces, and weddings. Complement with a model from our women's watches if you're looking for a pair.
