BULOVA ADDS A NEW CHRONOGRAPH TO ITS JOSEPH BULOVA COLLECTION , A SET OF AUTOMATIC WATCHES WITH DESIGNS INSPIRED BY BULOVA WATCHES MADE IN THE 1920S TO THE 1940S .
This latest addition to the retro-styled collection is a three-subdial , 42mm steel-cased chronograph offered with either a black dial with rose-gold tone accents or a silver white dial with blue-tone accents . While the new watch is larger than the original , and it now shows chronograph timing using three-subdials instead of two , the new model retains several features that contributed to the character of the original watch .
The original features retained by Bulova include the telemeter scale around the perimeter of the dial , a domed crystal , railroad-track scales around the subdials and distinctive , squared chronograph pushers . In addition , Bulova has transferred the dial font and hand style from the original onto the new Joseph Bulova chronograph .
Of course , updates for both aesthetic and technical reasons are inevitable . For this piece , these include using anti-reflective sapphire to create the domed crystal , a day / date window and an exhibition caseback , exposing the rotor . Inside you ’ ll find a Swiss-made Sellita SW-500 chronograph caliber with a 48-hour power reserve .
Bulova is offering either style on a black leather strap engraved with Joseph Bulova ’ s signature on the inside . And Bulova offers each watch in the Joseph Bulova collection as a limited edition of 350 .
Price : $ 2,495 .
