The Bulova 96B256 is a stylish and functional men's chronograph watch from the popular Marine Star collection. It combines a sporty aesthetic with practical features, making it a versatile choice for everyday wear, especially for those who appreciate a maritime-inspired design.

• Case: The watch features a robust stainless steel case with a silver-tone finish. It has a generally round shape and a sturdy build, characteristic of the Marine Star line. The case size is typically around 43mm to 44mm in diameter and approximately 12mm to 12.7mm in thickness, offering a noticeable presence on the wrist without being overly bulky.
• Bezel: It often includes a fixed or sometimes a unidirectional rotating bezel, contributing to its sporty, dive-inspired look.
• Chronograph Sub-dials: As a chronograph, the dial includes three sub-dials for its timing functions: typically a 60-second counter, a 60-minute counter, and a 1/10th of a second counter. These sub-dials usually contrast slightly with the main dial color for better legibility.
• Dial: The most prominent feature is its striking blue dial. This dial often has a rich sunburst effect that plays with light, enhancing its visual appeal. It features luminous silver-tone hands and index hour markers, ensuring good readability in various lighting conditions.
• Movement Type: The Bulova 96B256 is powered by a reliable quartz movement. This means it is battery-operated, offering precise and consistent timekeeping with minimal maintenance. It's often a Japanese quartz movement (like a Miyota 6S20), which ensures good accuracy (typically within 15 seconds a month).
