Bulova Precisionist Review – Bulova Precisonist Watch

Bulova Precisionist Review

See why I love the Bullova Precisionist Watch in this Bulova Precisionist Review!

I definitely have a new favorite watch. I found the Bulova Precisionist Watch when I was thumbing through a magazine. It did not have the price and I was shocked when I found out how much it was actually going to cost. This is definitely a watch that you could classify as a poor man’s luxury watch.

Bulova Precisionist 98B142 Champlain Review

After I saw an add for this watch in a recent F1 Racing magazine, stating accuracy within 10 seconds per year and a “sweeping second hand” I figured the price tag would be near $1,000. Much to my surprise, Amazon had the model I saw in the magazine for much, much cheaper!

I made an impulse buy and it landed on my doorstep the next day (yesterday). I am not completely anti quartz and especially towards HEQ’s. I have owned a Breitling Colt Thermocompensated quartz watch and desperately want it back! As mentioned, the Bulova Precisionist Watch is advertised to keep 10 seconds per year and is NOT thermocompensated, I am not a movement guru by any means but find that pretty amazing. The second hand ticks 16 times per second which does reduce battery life to around 3 years instead of 8 for the Breitling, but this is absolutely not an issue for me. I will say the movement is the main attraction of this watch for me, but once I saw this watch in person, the style grew on me substantially.

Now for a review of different aspects of this watch:

Bulova Precisionist Watch Review – The Case

It is rather big, the dial measures 46mm across and is slightly curved (more in the dial part). The bezel DOES NOT ROTATE! This is a big deal for me. It looks cool as is, but for a watch rated to 300m, it is a very capable dive watch. I don’t dive but often time things with a timing bezel. The crown is fantastic however! It has a cool spiral to it that looks cool, but it is absolutely buttery smooth. I am talking as good as my Breitling Superocean!

The black Ion plating is also really nice. I have not experience with DLC coating, but I think PVD coating is harder and more scratch resistant than Ion plating. The Ion plating is evenly applied and varies from polished to a matte finish on different surfaces. It also has 24mm lugs.

Bulova Precisionist Watch Review – The Dial

I absolutely love the dial on the Bulova Precisionist watch! The carbon fiber is awesome and some serious detail is put into the look and “depth” of the dial. Anyone who has looked at Carbon Fiber knows the “depth” it has from different angles and different ways the light hits it. Different weaves catch the light and others don’t, etc.

The CF is a major factor for me purchasing the watch also and it did not disappoint! There is a 24hr ring screwed to the dial that looks fantastic, the screws are perfectly flush with the conical inlay on the ring. The hour indices are applied on top of another plate that has a circular pattern cut into it. The lume it actually raised up off of the chrome hour marker it actually looks like it is an entire different part. Then the chapter ring has number in blue for the minutes and has white second dash lines every second. I understand that this was confusing and poorly written but the dial on this watch is extremely detailed and has a total of 6 levels of plates and markings. That does not include the hands. Unfortunately the crystal is not sapphire but mineral. At the price it should be sapphire in my opinion.

I will talk about the rubber strap briefly here: It does the job. It is not as soft as other straps I have used but looks cool and has an awesome buckle with Bulova engraved. The top surface is polished Ion plating while the sides are brushed! As mentioned, it has a 24mm lug width.

I understand that the look of the Bulova Precision is not for everyone. I was looking for a watch to wear at the race track that was exotic and this fit the bill perfectly! Much to my surprise, in real life I just plain like the way it looks! Yes it is different, but it has a fantastic movement to add a “real” feel to it!

Overall I am extremely pleased with the Bulova Precisionist Watch! I think the value completely out weighs it’s cost range.

That was a review based on the exact watch I purchased from Amazon. Now I am going to talk about a couple different watches that are available from the Bulova Precisionist collection of watches.

The Bulova Precisionist Watch comes in 3 different styles. I will list them below.
