Introduced in the 2019 Spring‑Summer collection, this watch marries classic aesthetics with modern engineering, offering an experience that is both visually striking and mechanically reliable.
Design & Aesthetics
The case of the Bulova 98A179 measures a generous 46 mm, providing a bold presence on the wrist while maintaining a balanced silhouette. Crafted from steel coloured material, the round case features a matte finish that enhances its understated sophistication. The back of the watch is a screwed case back made from steel silver, allowing for easy access to the movement while preserving structural integrity.
The dial is a striking black surface, accentuated by baton markers that provide clear readability. The watch’s skeleton function reveals the intricate workings beneath, creating an engaging visual interplay between form and function. A pull crown offers intuitive time setting, while the crystal is protected by durable sapphire glass, ensuring clarity and resistance to scratches.
Movement & Performance
At its heart lies a Miyota automatic movement, renowned for reliability and precision. This mechanical engine operates at a frequency of 21,600 Hz (4.5 beats per second), delivering smooth motion across the hour, minute, and second hands. The watch boasts a generous 40‑hour power reserve, allowing continuous operation for nearly two days without winding.
The movement is fully hackable, enabling precise time adjustments by pulling the crown to the first position. This feature is particularly useful for synchronizing with external time sources or for fine-tuning during maintenance.
Build & Durability
Constructed from high‑quality stainless steel, the watch’s bracelet measures 27 mm in width and extends from 165 mm to 220 mm in length, accommodating a wide range of wrist sizes. The strap is finished with an Ion Plated/PVD coating that enhances corrosion resistance while maintaining a sleek black appearance.
The clasp is a reliable fold‑over clasp, ensuring secure fastening during everyday wear and active pursuits. With a water resistance rating of 10 bar (100 m), the watch can withstand splashes, rain, and even brief immersion in water, making it suitable for swimming and snorkeling activities.
Versatility & Wearability
The Bulova 98A179 is designed to transition seamlessly from formal occasions to casual settings. Its classic black dial pairs effortlessly with business attire, while the robust stainless steel bracelet adds a touch of ruggedness for weekend adventures.
