The 96B251 comes with a leather and a nylon strap and looks great on both. Perhaps more importantly, it feels good on the wrist. The watch features the HPQ NP20 movement that also powers the 98A285 50th Anniversary Limited Edition that I've owned since 2021; I've set that watch once when it arrived, and it is still exact compared to time.gov. Bought directly from Bulova around Thanksgiving at a discount. I was considering an automatic, but service on a Moonwatch is more expensive than my new Lunar Pilot. It's a no-brainer: buy it!
Very nice watch but the bracelet is too short, made for small wrist mine is 7.75 in
Love the watch even though the battery went dead 3 days later
