The Bulova Racer Chronograph 98B432 is a high-performance men's watch inspired by motorsport design, known for its sporty and robust features. It is powered by a reliable Quartz movement and encased in $42$ mm stainless steel. The watch stands out with a textured Light Blue dial and dynamic orange/white racing accents. Key features include a full Chronograph function, a Date display, and a fixed Tachymeter bezel. A major upgrade for this model is the highly scratch-resistant Sapphire Crystal. With 100 meters (10 ATM) of water resistance, it is built to be an active, durable, and stylish timepiece.
This is a stopwatch function independent of the standard timekeeping. It is controlled by the pushers (buttons) on the side of the case (usually start/stop and reset). The sub-dials on the main face measure elapsed seconds, minutes, and sometimes hours, essential for timing races or events.
A simple complication that displays the current day of the month, typically visible through a small window (aperture) on the dial (at the 6 o'clock position on this model).
This is a significant premium feature. Sapphire crystal is synthetic and extremely hard, making it highly scratch-resistant (second only to diamond). The Anti-Reflective coating reduces glare, making the dial easier to read outdoors or in bright light.
This rating means the watch is securely sealed and can withstand water pressure equivalent to $100$ meters of depth. It is safe for swimming, showering, and surface snorkeling, making it truly suitable for an active lifestyle.
The watch hands and/or hour markers are coated with a luminous material (often Super-LumiNova). This material absorbs light and then glows in the dark, allowing you to read the time easily in low-light conditions.
