Bulova - Marine Star Automatic 21 Jewels 97A174 200M Diver Mens Watch Tone Stainless Steel Black Dial - Gold

The Bulova 97A174 impresses with its bold black dial framed by a luxurious gold-tone stainless steel case, offering a striking contrast and refined style. Powered by automatic movement, this watch ensures reliable, battery-free timekeeping. With 200-meter water resistance, it's designed for divers and those who enjoy underwater adventures. The durable construction and sleek design make this timepiece both functional and stylish, perfect for those who appreciate elegance and performance in one.

• The "First" for Marine Star: This reference was part of the first sub-series in the Marine Star line to feature a fully automatic movement paired with an open-aperture skeleton dial, moving away from the collection's traditional quartz chronograph roots.
• The Aesthetic: It uses a high-contrast black and gold palette. The dial is layered, featuring translucent sections and an "open heart" that reveals the beating balance wheel. Unlike the more classic Roman numerals on some Marine Stars, this uses bold baton indices for a sportier feel.
• Genuine Capability: Despite its "jewelry-like" gold finish, it is a functional tool watch. It features a screw-down crown to ensure its 200m water resistance, making it much more durable than the "Surveyor" models we discussed earlier.
• The Bracelet: The gold-tone bracelet features a mix of brushed and polished finishes. It uses a sport fold-over clasp with push-button release and a safety bar.
• Movement: Miyota 8N26 Automatic (21 Jewels, 42-hour reserve, Non-hacking)
