Overview
The Bulova Marine Star 96B465 combines sporty function with timeless steel aesthetics. The green dial with luminous indexes/hands is protected under sapphire crystal, and the chronograph and date provide clear benefits in everyday life. The 43 mm brushed/polished steel case withstands the pace of life with 10 ATM water resistance, making the model just as obvious for the office as for weekend activities. The machined steel bezel adds depth and luster without disturbing the overall look.
Comfort
Despite its obvious dimensions, the 96B465 is comfortable to wear. The 11.8mm case height means the case sits low and slides easily under your sleeve, and the articulated steel bracelet distributes the weight evenly across your wrist. The folding clasp quickly secures the fit and reduces the risk of pinching, while rounded corners and a smooth back reduce pressure points for long-lasting comfort. Luminescent material on the indexes and hands provides quick reading in bright light and reduces eye strain.
Summary
The Marine Star 96B465 encapsulates Bulova's strengths: quartz precision, clear chronograph and robust steel in a harmonious, sporty design. The green dial, steel bracelet and 10 ATM provide everyday durability and style, while the sapphire crystal preserves clarity over time. The date adds practical utility, and the balanced profile makes the model a reliable companion from the office to the weekend. A steel bezel frames the expression and provides extra grip when in use.
