Bulova Men's Marine Star Chronograph Watch #98H37  Product Description: Bulova Men's Marine Star Two Tone Chronograph WatchAmazon.com Product Description: Blending elegant style with a sporty state of mind, the two-tone Bulova Marine Star men's chronograph watch travels easily between formal business and sporty casual wear. The large, round polished silver stainless steel watch case measures 41mm (1.6 inches) wide and is topped by a unidirectional rotating elapsed time bezel with white engraved 10-minute marks. This watch features 24-karat ion-plated crown, chrono push-buttons, and bezel accents. The dark blue dial includes three chronograph subdials (chrono minutes, seconds, and 24-hour) outlined in silver. It also offers luminous gold-outlined hands (with seconds hand), luminous markers, small minute indexes on the outer dial, and a date window between 4 and 5 o'clock. The brushed stainless steel bracelet band offers a thin, gold-tone accent running down the middle, and it's joined by fold-over deployment clasp. This precise quartz timepiece also features a scratch-resistant mineral crystal and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet). How to Use the Elapsed Time Bezel If your watch is equipped with a rotating outer dial with one-minute graduations, this can be used in various ways to check elapsed time. For example if you're diving and have a 30-minute air supply, you can set the outer ring so that the bezel's starting point is in line with the minute hand when you first submerge. The minute hand will then indicate on the outer ring the length of time that you've been under water and when you should safely begin to resurface. About Bulova The beginnings of the Bulova Watch Corporation can be traced to a small jewelry store opened on Maiden Lane in New York City in 1875 by Joseph Bulova, a 23-year-old immigrant from Bohemia. In 1911, Bulova began manufacturing boudoir and desk clocks, along with fine pocket watches, which he made and sold in unprecedented numbers. During World War I, wristwatches were issued in the military for their greater convenience. Returning veterans brought them home, and a new fashion was created. In the 1950s, Bulova developed the Accutron, the first electronic watch, which was accurate to keeping time to within two seconds a day. During the 1960s, NASA asked the company to bring its timing expertise to computers for the Space Program. A Bulova timer was placed on the moon's Sea of Tranquility to control the transmissions of vital data through the years. At the heart of each Bulova watch is precision accuracy. From the finest quartz movements to alternative technologies such as solar or mechanical energy, each Bulova watch is guaranteed to be accurate to within one minute a year.
