I purchased my new Bulova Marine Star 45mm Stainless Steel Chronograph, (Model 96B272) August 3, 2019 and could not be more pleased. The black dial contrasts very nicely with the silver and white chronograph accents, making for a very clean and crisp visual presentation that is so very easy to read. At 45mm this watch is rather large, feels heavy in the hand, and has a manly look. On or off the wrist, it appears as a much more expensive timepiece. I have always preferred a mechanical watch, however, Bulova’s advanced quartz movement caught my attention for its accuracy, and the very clean look of the black dial made it an easy purchase decision. If you are looking for an every day watch, I highly recommend the Bulova Marine Star Stainless Steel Black Dial Chronograph!
I have had this watch for a couple months. I love it!
