Top Bulova Watches: Editor’s Picks
Whether you’re looking for ultra-accurate timekeeping from the Precisionist line, or historical and pop culture-inspired designs like The Lunar Pilot, here are the Bulova watches that we feel deserve a spot on your wrist.
Bulova Jet Star (Limited Edition)
A throwback design can prove that there’s no school like the old school, and this sleek, limited-edition 1973 Jet Star blends the classic silver-toned style of a dress watch with a playful richly-colored blue leather strap, working well with just about everyone’s personal style and routine. Powered by the brand’s Precisionist movement, the timepiece uses a revolutionary 8-jewel quartz mechanism vibrating at a remarkable 262kHz that makes it accurate to 5 seconds per month. It’s legendary style mixed with impressive movement — worth the splurge in our books.
Frank Sinatra ‘Rat Pack’
If you’ve got an old soul, you can wear some of the magic of the greatest performers of all time with this new limited-edition Bulova men’s Rat Pack timepiece. Inspired by the iconic styles of legendary crooners Sammy Davis, Jr., Dean Martin, and Frank Sinatra, this all-new timepiece features a timeless silver-tone stainless steel case with sapphire crystal and a special caseback adorned with the artists’ signatures and the Rat Pack’s logo. Limited to 5,000 pieces you’ll have the world on a string with impeccable taste.
Marc Anthony Maquina
Just like no hay nadie como ella, there’s nothing quite like Bulova’s bold Marc Anthony Maquina men’s timepiece. We like that this watch has a rugged edge to it, with faceted silver-tone stainless steel case that’s water-resistant up to 100m and a flat sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. Partnering with legendary performer himself on the design, Athony chose orange accenting at 1, 3, and 5 o’clock for their personal significance. Everything from the brilliant blue dial to the vibrant orange silicone strap perfectly captures the essence of his music, so you’ll stay in-style and never miss a beat.
Frank Lloyd Wright ‘Imperial Hotel’
Show off your eye for impeccable design with this new Bulova men’s timepiece from the Frank Lloyd Wright Collection. Following their celebration of iconic American architects, this new model includes a unique hexagonal case in gold-tone stainless steel, with a crown located at 2 o’clock. The dial is actually inspired by the The Imperial Hotel, with gold-tone hands against a mosaic multi-colored dial. We guarantee you’ll feel like you just stepped into a luxurious hotel lobby every time you strap this timepiece on.
Marine Star Series C
With stunning navy and gold accents, we can see why Bulova’s Marine Star is one of their most popular designs. Including handsome rose gold tones against a blue glass insert, these little touches bring vibrancy to the traditional accessory. If the blue dial with domed mineral crystal doesn’t make enough of an argument to add to your cart, the watch is also water-resistant up to 200 meters — a stylish swimmer’s dream.
Lunar Pilot ‘Happy 70th Nile Rodgers’
Bulova has transformed their classic Archive Series Lunar Pilot Chronograph to celebrate another major milestone — music legend Nile Rodger’s 70th birthday. As a nod to Nile growing up fascinated by and living through the ‘Space Race’, the new limited-edition “We Are Family” Lunar Pilot Chronograph is a commemorative reissue of the Bulova watch worn on August 2, 1971 during the Apollo 15 mission. With a custom case back marked “HAPPY 70TH NILE!” with a guitar, set on a gorgeous textured black leather strap, you can dress like a legend, too.
Quadra Modern
Gold watches and jewelry have become mainstream over the past couple decades as street style influencers work the flashy timepieces into their looks. It’s now easier than ever to score a good looking gold-tone watch without dropping big bucks, and Bulova’s Quadra Modern watch is a great example. Sporting a unique tank-shaped case, gold-tone case, and champagne dial with three diamonds set on dial, it’s certainly a statement, but it’s easier to pull off than you might think.
Futuro Modern
Perfect for the modern minimalist, this sleek all-black Futuro Modern timepiece stands out from the crowd with a bold look. The black IP stainless steel comes with three diamonds on black dial, a three-hand date feature, a metalized edge-to-edge curved crystal and screw-back case. With a precise quartz crystal, this watch also regulates the time achieving accuracy to 15 seconds a month.
