Racer Chronograph
Built on Bulova’s vibrant history in motorsport – from soap box derbies to the upper echelons of auto racing – the new men’s 5-hand chronograph Racer watch is fine-tuned and designed for performance. The contoured stainless steel case features a unique design evoking the aerodynamic curves of the world’s fastest automobiles. A two-tone orange and black tachymeter ring offers further functionality, while pronounced pushers provide a distinctively automotive aesthetic. The spectacularly textured light blue dial features an orange and white racing pattern chapter ring, with a date display at 6 o’clock and subdials displaying the chronograph minutes and the 24-hour time. A bold orange chronograph seconds hand ensures optimal legibility no matter the speed. The dial is appointed with applied silver-tone markers and matching beveled hands, all filled with luminescent material for low-light visibility. The watch is paired with a 3-link stainless-steel bracelet with a deployant clasp for a secure fit. Whether gripping the wheel around the bend at the track or on your daily commute, the Bulova men’s Racer chronograph is a stylish expression of racing history and a passion for speed.

The Perfect Gift
My husband fell in love with this watch! Is a beautiful master piece. Very comfortable on his wrist. I'm so happy I was able to get it right before Valentines day.
Bulova Racing Chronograph
This watch looks as good as the online photo. It is a real comfortable fit to my wrist. I love the look of this watch and it will be a keeper.
Looks Great, but has issues
The watch looks great and do to the shape of the lugs, wears a little smaller than you would expect. The light blue face looks great with the red chronograph hand and the small red minutes counter for the chronograph. The date is at 6. The case is well made, with some accents that look like screws and there is a Bulova logo on the case at 5 and one on the crown. The band is easily changed, just pinch the pins on each side and it's off. No tools are required unless you have no nails or fat fingers. The anti-reflective coating on the sapphire crystal makes it easy to read, although with the silver hands against the light blue dial makes it a little difficult to see. I think a better color choice for the hands would have increased the readability of the time. The small 24 hour dial at 3 is useless, unless you have the eyes of an 8 year old. A small sweep second hand would have been more useful. Same with the date too small to read. There's a lot of real estate on the dial, the date could have been larger without taking away from the dial symmetry. On to the band. It rattles and it's loud, not like the rattle from a vintage Submariner bracelet with hollow end links, it's a "cheap" rattle. It's fairly east to size the bracelet, there are push pins, just follow the arrows on the bracelet. However, one side of the pins looks like screw with a slot, it's not. I was thinking maybe the slot was there to make it easier to remove the pin, but it's on the other side of the arrow. The slots are very shallow so they're not an expansion thing to keep the pin in place, so I think the slots are just there to make it look like something it's not. To remove the case back, it's 4 screws so battery replacement should be a DIY thing and pretty easy. This is a great watch to wear when you don't want to wear a more expensive watch without giving up the expensive look. Lovely timepiece.
