Bulova Bracelet Watches

The Bulova bracelet watch is one of the most popular bracelet watches available today. Bulova is recognized as a high quality and reputable brand and so it is no wonder their bracelet watches fly off the shelves so quickly.

The Bulova Company began in 1875 when Joseph Bulova opened his first shop in New York. Bulova is known as a company that isn’t afraid to experiment with new ideas and therefore its bracelet watches have some of the most fantastic designs.

Up until the mid 1920s pocket watches were the only watch people could buy. However, around this time Bulova brought out the first full collection of men and women’s wristwatches. First they were sent out to all the military personnel. When they returned from the war, wristwatches became the latest must have fashion item. Bulova now has a large portfolio of brands which includes Bulova, Bulova Accutron, Caravelle by Bulova, Bulova Clocks, Harley-Davidson and Frank Lloyd Wright.  When Charles Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic for the first time in 1927, Bulova created the Lone Eagle watch to commemorate this event. The watch sold out in three days. In 1930 Bulova created the doctors watch which had an extra hand to help doctors to take their patients pulse. These two watches were so innovative for their time and for this reason they are now Bulova's most in demand collectors’ items.

Then in 1960, the Accutron watch was born. Some historians think this was the most important advancement in watch-making history. The Accutron was the first watch to function without springs but instead worked electronically. This watch even made a trip to the moon when Neil Armstrong used Accutron timing to9 record his first moon walk.

Part of the Bulova signature brand is the bracelet collection. There are both men’s and women’s watches in this collection. Perhaps not surprisingly, there are a few more ladies watches in the range than men’s. Having said that, the men do still have a wide selection to choose from.

The men’s bestselling Bulova watch is the Marine Star Diamond Accent Watch. The watch is style number 96D09 and it has a wide, masculine strap made of stainless steel. The dial is made of luxurious black mother of pearl and the watch features 11 beautiful diamonds and curved crystal. The watch features Japanese quartz timekeeping.  Quartz is the way the watch is powered through the battery and Japanese Quartz has now been thought to be even more accurate than Swiss Quart. The Women’s Sport Marine Star Diamond Watch is the women’s best seller. It is style number 96R000 and has a silver dial. This is a chronograph watch with 16 diamonds. Chronograph means that the watch is able to tell the time and provide a stopwatch. The bracelet is made from stainless steel links and the square face provides a unique look.

The Bulova Company is so important in America that October 4th is now known as Bulova day. The Bulova Bracelet watch is among some of the finest watches in the world.
