This watch touches all aspects that I like about this brand. Their vintage line is amazing and this reissue delivers. The GMT & Diver bezel combination is clever; lume - plenty of it. I ordered a matching bracelet directly from Bulova and it is super comfortable. Definitely a looker and a keeper.
Love the watch, I wanted something with a white face, this Buliva is beautiful. The band gives me a bit of trouble. First of all the description says it’s black and it’s gray. They don’t sell a black band for this watch. I wish I had a black band. It also is described as polyurethane in one spot and silicone and another. I’m not sure what the material is. it’s very soft and very comfortable, but it sticks to itself and it is difficult to get through the keepers. The keepers have little teeth that lock into the watchband making them very difficult to adjust but once you have it adjusted, it never moves while you wear it. It’s very comfortable I never take it off. It’s pretty accurate. I synchronize all my watches with world time and this has lost about 30 seconds in 10 days not bad for an automatic watch. It’s a big handsome watch, but it’s not one of those ridiculously large time pieces.

It is the perfect size at 41mm. The lume looks great in the dark but doesn’t last that long. After breaking in the rubber strap, it is really comfortable. I barely take the watch off now. Sapphire glass and GMT are great additional features. The bezel clicks are nice and stiff. The overall finish and quality of the watch is worth the price tag.
This is a beautifully made timepiece. One of my favorites at this price.
Amazing build quality. It's everything I wanted and more.
This was my first auto watch purchase. I wanted a little of everything. Auto(of course) GMT, divers watch and a classic style. I looked at quite a few and debated for a couple months. This is where I landed and I couldn't be happier except for one minor (personal) complaint. I very quickly tired of the rubber strap. It's very comfortable, don't get me wrong, but after just a few days I found the style clashed somewhat with the classic look of the piece. I've ordered an olive green canvas strap and a mocha brown bund leather strap to try out with it. Other than that, I'm loving everything about this watch.
I saw another bracelet review of this watch, and I can't agree more. It comes on a rubber style strap, which while nice, doesn't fit my style quite as much as a bracelet does. I also have a lume strap, and let me tell you, that sucker will keep you up at night, it's so bright a combination. The dial is fantastic, the movement easy to use, and it wears so well. I enjoy the subtle GMT hand, which blends in better with the dial than the other colorways, which is a consideration for when you just need to tell the time, and not worry about another time zone. It has been my most worn watch of 2024. And will probably be up there for 2025 as well.
