Bulova questions, answered

Still deciding? Call us at 661-861-8414 or start a chat.

What is Precisionist?

Precisionist is Bulova’s high-performance quartz. It vibrates at 262 kHz, about eight times the frequency of standard quartz, which gives it a smooth sweeping seconds hand.

What is the Archive Series?

The Archive Series brings back watches from Bulova’s past, including the Lunar Pilot, the chronograph worn on the Moon in 1971.

How are Bulova and Accutron related?

Accutron began as Bulova’s 1960 tuning-fork watch, the first fully electronic watch. Today it is its own brand; shop it in our Accutron collection.
