Overview
The Bulova Classic 96B462 is a stylish men's watch that combines a 40 mm polished steel case with a light blue sunray dial for a fresh look. Behind the sapphire crystal is a Japanese mechanical movement, caliber 8215-Y3E, which provides up to 42 hours of power reserve and ±20 sec/day accuracy. Luminescent indexes ensure clear readability in the dark, while 10 ATM makes the watch water-resistant even when swimming.
Comfort
Despite its solid steel construction, the watch weighs just 190g, and the balanced caseback helps it rest flat against the wrist. The 23mm bracelet is secured with a safety folding clasp, ensuring the watch stays in place even when moving. Individually articulated links follow the natural curve of the hand and allow the skin to breathe, while the rounded edges prevent chafing during prolonged use and distribute the weight evenly.
Summary
The Bulova Classic 96B462 combines modern color schemes with classic mechanics. The light blue dial gives a refreshing twist to steel and makes the watch equally suitable for a shirt or a knitted sweater. Sapphire crystal, screw-down crown and 10 ATM provide reliable protection against scratches and water, while the 42-hour power reserve keeps the movement ticking through the weekend. A model that mixes understated elegance with genuine watchmaking craftsmanship.
