Bulova Men's 96A119 BVA Series Dual Aperture Dial Watch

 (8 customer reviews)

This fine piece is another example of great Bulova quality...

As usual the photos found all over the internet do not do it justice. On that note, the photo here shows a sub-dial with the tuning-forked second hand being very dark blue or even black. Mine just happens to be a whitish color. This would be cool if I now own a rare abberation.

Two (2) aperture sub-dials allowing a view of the inner-workings of the timepiece make this watch unique. Also awe-inspiring is the exhibition caseback allowing a rear view of more gears and the automatic movement of the piece.

The watch has not lost or gained time in the 14 days I've been wearing it. I expect that it would stop keeping time if not worn or wound for over 4 days.

Additionally, the band has a 'hidden' quick-release double-button deployment clasp which I love. I've never experienced any hitches, scratches, snags or accidental releases. The entire band consists of brushed as well as polished...Read more

After careful research, I decided on this watch because it met my criteria, which were:
1. Mid-range price
2. Company Reputation of Quality
3. Unique Design
4. Suitable for work and casual use

I just received my watch and am thrilled with the timepiece. As another reviewer said, the pictures on the Web don't do it justice. While it is a larger watch, it does not overwhelm - and it's weight gives it the feel of a more expensive instrument. I had gotten the recommendation to seek out Bulova from a local jeweler, who said that in over 35 years of watch repair and sales, Bulova is the best brand for overall reliability of any in the mid-range price range.

Although it is a skelatal chronograph, the design allows easy reading for time, and the opening into the workings is a fascinating plus. The watch is sleek, classy and will be a perfect accompaniment to a suit or casual wear. It's early, but the precision is evident, with zero time lost or gained...Read more

I received this watch yesterday. I bought this watch thru Mrwatch, they really provide watches with competitive prices (but the manufacturer's warrenty covers for only 3 years. Not the general Bulova's 5 years warrenty.). I liked their customer service too. I first thought of getting white dial one. But I went to local Gordans store and tried both. I finally liked the black one. It has rich looks, the clasp also looks beautiful. It is a perfect fit for me. 42mm dial is the right size for me, not too big or small. I like the fact that it is automatic and does not require battery. I had problems with my previous fossil when I had to replace the battery. I have been observing the time for 12 hours I don't see any loss or gain of minutes. I will update this review after a month on the accuracy. I really like this watch. It would be really nice to have date rolling. But none of the Bulova's self winding watches have rolling date. This is a beautifully crafted watch. I recommend this watch...Read more
