Product Description
In 1875, a young Czech immigrant named Joseph Bulova set up shop in New York City, and a legendary American watch brand was born. Bulova was trained as a jeweler, and his expertise carried over into his watchmaking career, which began around 1911 with boudoir clocks and pocket watches, and soon evolved to include what was then one of the latest and most fashionable technological innovations: the wristwatch.
Bulova introduced its first line of wristwatches in 1919. The company grew and prospered, and soon early radio and television ads were declaring, "America runs on Bulova time." In the 1950s, continuing its legacy of innovation, Bulova introduced Accutron, the first electronic watch, and the first breakthrough in timekeeping technology in over 300 years. The Accutron timing mechanism was later adapted for use by NASA computers and a Bulova timer was even placed on the moon to control transmissions of data. Bulova timepieces have kept official time aboard Air Force One and have also served as official timepieces for U.S. Olympic teams.
Today, Bulova maintains its tradition of excellence in technology and design, offering a diverse collection of beautiful precision timepieces for every occasion.
From the Precisionist ? Collection. Featuring Bulova's proprietary Precisionist quartz accuracy, this advanced chronograph offers 1/1,000-second precision over a twelve-hour time frame, with global accuracy to within ten seconds a year. In stainless steel with black ion-plated accents, domed crystal, rotating ratchet bezel, black sunray dial, chronograph measurement of hours, minutes, seconds, 1/10-seconds, 1/100-seconds and 1/1,000-seconds, red continuously sweeping second hand, luminous hour and minute hands, luminous markers, tachymeter, calendar, screw-back case, screw-down crown, double-press fold-over clasp with safety lock, and water resistance to 200 meters.

Photo update: On a beautiful Crown & Buckle Dark Chocolate 24mm American Made with red stitching leather one-piece NATO strap.
Note: Some of the information amazon lists is incorrect:
-The bezel is not stationary, it rotates unidirectionally (which is what you'd expect for this style of watch!).
-Also the weight of the watch plus the steel bracelet is 8 oz even. The watch itself weighs 4 oz and the bracelet weighs 4 oz even.
I've been wearing it with the original bracelet, and for the past day with a NATO Zulu strap. It looks great with the Zulu strap. I've also got a black sailcloth leather strap with white stitching from bradystraps coming in the mail and I anticipate it will look even better with that.
Some other details you may be curious about:
-The tachometer looks like it is on the bezel, but it's not, it is on it's own ring that remains stationary when the bezel rotates.
-The lume is quite good. I went to bed around 11pm and woke up at 5am, it was still completely dark and I could still see the hour marks.
-The bracelet it comes with utilizes friction pins. They are easy to remove yourself with the proper tools. The bracelet is very nice, solid machined stainless steel, as as mentioned before, it weights the same as the watch itself.
-The piece is pretty flawless, even under an illuminated stereoscope at 15x
-Screw down crown, nice feel to it as you adjust it.
-The two buttons on the right of the watch are very positive. The button on the left is less so.
The second hand is mesmerizing with its red color and continuously smooth sweep, other quartz watches only tick once per second. This was a very nice addition to my collection.

The second hand is mesmerizing with its red color and continuously smooth sweep, other quartz watches only tick once per second. This was a very nice addition to my collection.
Be careful if you have a thin wrist because it may be too big for you... the only downside, as with all Bulova's, is that it doesn't have shappire cristal... I knew that before buying it and I'm not going to deduct one star from it, but in a watch with a 800 dollars price tag, it is difficult to accept that it doesn't have shappire cristal.. anyway, I bought it with amazon's amazing discounts (415 bucks almost 50% discount) as always, and for that I'm 100% satisfied with the product and recommend 100%.. if you know what you are buying, then go ahead and you won't be sorry, the watch looks spectacular...
