I purchased primarily for the 262 kHz sweeping second hand and greater accuracy. The style is timeless and can fit in anywhere
I enjoy interesting watches of all sorts. I own watches of different varieties from over $20k to under $20 dollars. The Bulova Marine Star caught my eye as it resembles in many ways the Tag Aquaracer. So I did some research on it. The build quality is very good. The materials make for a very robust watch. But the precisionist movement is exceptional. The second hand sweet is world class smooth and such a pleasure to look at. With accuracy of +/- ten seconds a year, it’s incredible. The dial it beautiful. At this price point it is arguably one of the best quartz watches in its class. It’s great to have a very nice watch that I can just grab in a rush and know the time is correct and reliable. You simply can’t go wrong with it. It’s the watch worlds best kept secret.
This is just a beautiful watch. With the ceramic bezel and the antireflective coated sapphire crystal it really shows off the white dial. The lume is a really nice blue and it is very strong. I have a couple Swiss watches and others with super luminova and this is right there with them. The bracelet has quick release pins, which I think every watch should have and it also has a divers extension in the clasp that isn't mentioned anywhere online. Had to discover that on my own, but a happy discovery. The movement is incredible. I've had mine for 35 days and I've only lost about 7/10 of 1 second. That's incredible! Less than one second a month! Also, thank you Bulova for keeping the tuning fork symbol at the 12:00 hour. Every Bulova watch should have the tuning fork somewhere on the dial.
Recently I received this watch as a wedding anniversary gift. I have been interested in the 262hz movement for quite sometime. Normally I buy and wear automatic movements, however this is an exception. It moves like an auto but keeps time like an atomic clock!! It’s beautiful to look at, wears amazing, and meets my needs as a regular in my rotation.
