Bold and dynamic, the Bulova Men's Precisionist Champlain Black Dial Rubber Strap Watch is a timepiece for the ages. The most accurate watch in the world with a continuously sweeping second hand, the Precisionist delivers 16 ticks per second for a remarkable finish. This exceptional timepiece begins with a prominent 46.5mm black ion-plated stainless steel case with a fixed black bezel and a protected screw-down crown. These elements surround a dramatic black carbon fiber dial, which is protected by a curved mineral crystal and features luminous index hour markers and luminous black hands powered by reliable Japanese quartz movement. The dial also features a date display window at the 3 'o clock position. A textured black rubber bracelet straps this watch to the wrist, while a reliable buckle clasp ensures its secure placement. Finally, this watch boasts water resistance up to 984 feet (300 meters). A classic and bold presence with innovative movement, this watch will impress even the most knowledgeable watch connoisseur. From the Precisionist Collection. Featuring Bulova’s proprietary Precisionist quartz accuracy, in stainless steel with silver and black ion-plated finish, curved crystal, multiple-layer black carbon fiber, grey and silver dial, red continuously sweeping second hand, luminous hands and markers, curved calendar window, 24-hour track, screw-back case, screw-down crown, double-press fold-over clasp with safety lock, and water resistance to 300 meters.Precisionist TechnologyAt the heart of the watch is the Bulova Precisionist-class torsional resonator movement, custom-engineered to provide accuracy to within seconds a year using a three-prong quartz crystal that creates a vibration frequency of 262.144 kHz, the highest of any watch in the world and far greater than that of a standard quartz crystal. In laboratory testing, the Precisionist-class movement has been shown to be three times more accurate than standard quartz. This proprietary manufactured movement, including the signature floating second hand, also offers a resistance to gravitational error that makes it superior in performance to any mechanical watch on the market.Summary of FeaturesOne of the world’s most accurate movements – accurate to within seconds a yearPrecisionist-class torsional resonator movement proven in laboratory testing to be three times more accurate than standard quartzStainless steel case and bracelet with black ion-plated accentsCurved mineral crystalMultiple-layer black carbon fiber, grey, and silver dialRed continuously sweeping second handLuminous hour and minute handsLuminous markersCurved calendar windowScrew-back caseScrew-down crownDouble-press fold-over clasp with safety lockWater resistant to 300 metersAbout BulovaIn 1875, Joseph Bulova, a 23-year-old immigrant, set up shop in New York City and a legendary American watch brand was born. Since then, Bulova has stood proudly in the vanguard of timekeeping innovation, committed to the legacy of creativity and excellence established by its founder.A pioneering force in the industry, Bulova transformed how watches were worn and how time was perceived, registering over 50 patents as he and his company built a record of creativity including the first full lines of men’s (1919) and ladies’ (1924) wristwatches, the first clock/radio (1928) and the first electric clock (1931). To ensure the utmost in precision, in 1920, Bulova even established its own observatory – located atop its New York skyscraper. With that same spirit of innovation, following World War II, determined “to serve those who served us,” Bulova established The Bulova School of Watchmaking, using new and unique methods to train disabled veterans for positions in the watch and jewelry industry. Then, in 1960, Bulova changed timekeeping forever with the revolutionary Accutron, the world’s first fully electronic watch. An integral component of U.S. space technology, Accutron timing was used on 46 NASA missions, including Apollo XI, the first lunar landing (1969).Today, as one of the world’s most recognized brands, Bulova has expanded across the globe, with four separate watch brands, Bulova, Bulova AccuSwiss, Bulova Accutron II and Caravelle New York, as well as the award-winning Bulova Clocks.The signature Bulova brand provides an extensive selection of watches for every occasion, crafted of the finest materials, including 315L surgical grade stainless steel, diamonds, mother-of-pearl, carbon fiber, top-quality leather and Bulova’s proprietary Duramic™ nylon/ceramic composite, and powered by Precisionist-class quartz, automatic and quartz movements. An industry leader in diamond watch styling, with the new Diamond Gallery offering exquisite designs in stainless steel with sapphire crystals, Bulova is also known for Precisionist, featuring Bulova’s proprietary Precisionist-class quartz torsional resonator movement for accuracy to within seconds per year, the Marine Star collection, combining high-performance sports timekeeping with superior durability and water resistance to a minimum of 100 meters, and a comprehensive selection of classic styles, each with a three-year limited warranty.

Accurate, Manly, Gorgeous, Built Like A Tank!
I've owned this watch for two years now, by far the best watch I've ever owned and worth every penny. It's absolutely gorgeous. The face-dial size is perfect and very manly, and nothing is overdone. It's elegant and powerful. The movement is impeccably accurate and the sweep always is fun to look at and makes you wonder how smooth the mechanics are inside. Carbon-fiber face is a great sporty touch, and the dials light up great at night, it's just the perfect combination. The version I have has the tuning-fork Bulova symbol at top which is awesome. Bulova is phasing this logo out so get it while you can! Also, I wore the rubber strap for a while but eventually not digging the faded and worn look of it, I did get the rubber band swapped out for a nice marbled black leather one...looks 2x as manly and makes it a much more handsome watch! You won't regret this buy, and the movement really is an incredible engineering feat. 5 Stars on this one guys!

Review 98B142
Hey all. I just got this watch for christmas. After research I was a little concerned with the fogging issue people mentioned here. I'm in Tampa and going from heat to AC has been no problem. It's foggy here every morning during the winter and I havent seen an issue yet. I've even tested it with the refrigerator. I have a Bulova Accutron as my daily wearer that has been awesome but lacked in the sport style / outdoors area. I'm a motorcycle enthusiest and this is the perfect watch for outdoor activities, rain or shine. Also I have recieved more compliments in the office on it than any other watch I own. The seconds hand is really cool with the carbon fiber in the backround. It's dead on accurate and I'm truely happy with it. The fogging issue - screw in the crown like the directions state and there is no problem. Excellent watch at a good price, style & performance. This model delivers.

Great Watch, great value
Had the watch few weeks now, and I honestly love it. Just recently got in to watches so I'm learning lots of stuff on what makes a good watch. That being said I'm very happy with my purchase, is dead on accurate so far, the watch is the perfect size for me, and is heavy which I like. I recently learned that Bulova is no longer adding the turning fork on new models, I got to say that to would of been perfect to have the logo, but is not that big of a deal, other features that I notice that are different, is the crown on this new model watch it sticks out noticeably which is different from the older models (if you see the 360 video,you will notice), the other difference is the engrave details on the buckle, but is not a major change. At the end of the day this is the best watch I own and looking to buy more Bulova's in the future.

Awesome!
Bought this for myself as a Xmas gift! Exactly what I was looking for as far as style, I am not a watch snob or have a huge collection. It looks great on my wrist and not too big at all, it's just right. My other daily wearer was a Citizen skyhawk. I love the sweeping second hand on this one. Only thing I could see me maybe not liking down the road is the rubber strap if it doesn't hold up. I have had others that end up breaking, but they can be replaced. But it fits fine now and getting lots of compliments on it so far. The crown (to set the time) is a screw down type which I have never had on a watch before. You unscrew to pull out and use, then you can screw it down by hand to keep it from accidentally being pulled out and keep a tight seal. Very clean looking design, I love it.

It would be 5 stars if the watch wasn't manufactured over 5 years ago.
The watch feels great on the wrist very comfortable. It looks really nice and so far it has kept great time. The only thing that concerns me is the year it was manufactured, when i buy a new product the last thing i want is to find out that the product is over 5 years old. First clue was the Tunning Fork at the 12 o'clock position. I called Bulova and they told me that the watch was manufactured in 2012, the code on the back of case B2 = 2012. So basically your paying full price for a product that's been shelved for over 5 years. Other than that i would recommend this watch to anyone!!

Una pieza impecable
Ordene el reloj para que llegara el 12 de agosto y amazon entregó el 6, 5 estrelllasLa caja tal como indican algunos reviews en EEUU venia un poco sucia pero no rota, me imagino que son piezas de ultimo inventario.EL reloj es una pieza impecable, mejor en persona que en las fotos. Para personas con muñecas pequeñas como yo es probable que se necesite un hoyo adicional en la banda de goma por el tamaño y el gusto individual de ajuste a la muñeca. Fuera de eso, 5 estrellas, elegante, deportivo, definitivamente llama la atención. Lo mejor, el precio.Mas información en unos meses despues de uso constante.

Bello ma tempi abbastanza lunghi
Orologio bellissimo e di buona qualità.Se però nell'inserzione si capiva che veniva spedito dagli stati uniti forse ci avrei pensato su.. ci ha messo un paio di settimane per arrivare..Comunque tutto ok

EXZELLENT !
Diese Uhr hat kein alltägliches Design, ist aber sehr funktionell !Die Uhrzeit ist unter den meisten Bedingungen sehr gut ablesbar, auch noch einige Stunden bei Dunkelheit, wenn das Zifferblatt genug Tageslicht erhalten hat. Das verbaute High-End-Quarzwerk der Precisionist-Baureihe erfüllt sehr hohe Ansprüche an die Ganggenauigkeit. Es soll maximal 10 Sekunden pro Jahr von der Atomzeit abweichen und zwar ohne den Trick einer Funksteuerung ! Außerdem bewegt sich der Sekundenzeiger ohne Sekundenschritte oder Ruckeln absolut fließend. Faszinierend !Die Verarbeitung von Gehäuse und Zifferblatt ist schlicht exzellent. Das Resin-Armband ist das mit Abstand beste synthetische Band, das ich jemals getragen hatte. Es klebt nicht und bietet besten Tragekomfort.Die Uhr ist bis 30Bar/300Meter wasserdicht und hat einen verschraubten, ebenfalls schwarzen Gehäuseboden und eine verschraubte Stellkrone, die sehr hübsch schräg gerändelt ist .Wie kratzfest das Mineralglas ist, habe ich noch nicht getestet. Wer unbedingt Wert auf ein Saphirglas legt, mag in diesem Punkt unzufrieden sein. In allen anderen Belangen bietet diese nicht alltägliche Uhr jedenfalls besten Gegenwert in der Preisklasse bis ca. 500,- €.
