From the Precisionist Collection. Featuring Bulova’s proprietary Precisionist accuracy, this advanced chronograph offers 1/1,000-second precision over a twelve-hour time frame, with accuracy to within seconds a year. In stainless steel with domed crystal, multiple-level silver-white dial, chronograph measurement of hours, minutes, seconds, 1/10-seconds, 1/100-seconds and 1/1,000-seconds, rose-gold continuously sweeping second hand, Arabic numerals and hands, tachymeter, calendar, black leather strap, and water resistance to 50 meters.Providing an extraordinary level of timing accuracy, the Bulova Precisionist Chronograph is the only chronograph to combine stopwatch timing to 1/1,000-second with Bulova’s exclusive Precisionist-class torsional resonator movement, proven in laboratory testing to be one of the world’s most accurate.Easy and logical to read, each style features four subdials to display the cumulative time at a single glance, with individual measurements on the combined 1/10- and 1/100-second counter, as well as the hour and minute dials, dual-duty floating second hand, and a distinctive 1/1,000-second track with retrograde indicator.Precisionist TechnologyAt the heart of the watch is the Bulova Precisionist-class torsional resonator movement, custom-engineered to provide accuracy to within seconds a year using a three-prong quartz crystal that creates a vibration frequency of 262.144 kHz, the highest of any watch in the world and far greater than that of a standard quartz crystal. In laboratory testing, the Precisionist-class movement has been shown to be three times more accurate than standard quartz. This proprietary manufactured movement, including the signature floating second hand, also offers a resistance to gravitational error that makes it superior in performance to any mechanical watch on the market.Summary of FeaturesPrecision timing to 1/1,000th of a second12-hour chronograph functionOne of the world’s most accurate movements – accurate to within seconds a yearPrecisionist-class torsional resonator movement proven in laboratory testing to be three times more accurate than standard quartzStainless steel caseDomed mineral crystalMultiple-level silver-white diallRose-gold continuously sweeping second handCalendar windowBlack leather strapWater resistant to 50 metersAbout BulovaIn 1875, Joseph Bulova, a 23-year-old immigrant, set up shop in New York City and a legendary American watch brand was born. Since then, Bulova has stood proudly in the vanguard of timekeeping innovation, committed to the legacy of creativity and excellence established by its founder.A pioneering force in the industry, Bulova transformed how watches were worn and how time was perceived, registering over 50 patents as he and his company built a record of creativity including the first full lines of men’s (1919) and ladies’ (1924) wristwatches, the first clock/radio (1928) and the first electric clock (1931). To ensure the utmost in precision, in 1920, Bulova even established its own observatory – located atop its New York skyscraper. With that same spirit of innovation, following World War II, determined “to serve those who served us,” Bulova established The Bulova School of Watchmaking, using new and unique methods to train disabled veterans for positions in the watch and jewelry industry. Then, in 1960, Bulova changed timekeeping forever with the revolutionary Accutron, the world’s first fully electronic watch. An integral component of U.S. space technology, Accutron timing was used on 46 NASA missions, including Apollo XI, the first lunar landing (1969).Today, as one of the world’s most recognized brands, Bulova has expanded across the globe, with four separate watch brands, Bulova, Bulova AccuSwiss, Bulova Accutron II and Caravelle New York, as well as the award-winning Bulova Clocks.The signature Bulova brand provides an extensive selection of watches for every occasion, crafted of the finest materials, including 315L surgical grade stainless steel, diamonds, mother-of-pearl, carbon fiber, top-quality leather and Bulova’s proprietary Duramic nylon/ceramic composite, and powered by Precisionist-class quartz, automatic and quartz movements. An industry leader in diamond watch styling, with the new Diamond Gallery offering exquisite designs in stainless steel with sapphire crystals, Bulova is also known for Precisionist, featuring Bulova’s proprietary Precisionist-class quartz torsional resonator movement for accuracy to within seconds per year, the Marine Star collection, combining high-performance sports timekeeping with superior durability and water resistance to a minimum of 100 meters, and a comprehensive selection of classic styles, each with a three-year limited warranty.

Quality timepiece
The Precisionist is a very good looking watch with a quality feel and look about it. The watch is large but fits the wrist nicely. It is smart enough to wear as a dress watch yet casual enough for daily wear. So far (one month) it is keeping very accurate time. I'm impressed with the Bulova's quality- it has a look and feel of a high end watch. This has quickly become my favourite in my watch collection. Having no luminous dial does not worry me but may worry others. The workings of the chronograph may be complicated to some but it's not that difficult to operate. Overall this is a quality watch. Delivery by Amazon was the best I have had from the USA. Price was good even with the flagging Australian dollar.

Beautiful TIme Piece
I am always weary of purchasing a watch without being able to wear it and see how it fits (weight, bulkiness, etc.), but I am so pleased to say that this watch both fits wonderfully, and is just the right size. Excellent time piece that manages a very accurate time and easy chronograph functions make this piece super easy to master. Overall I am extremely pleased with the value-quality of the Bulova Precisionist Chronograph watch.

Great looking watch, but not worth the money
I get compliments on this watch all the time, however, Bulova's quality and repair shop is horrible. I bought this watch in 2014 from Amazon and after wearing the watch for 1 year and using the stopwatch feature of the Chronograph, one of the hands wouldn't return to zero. I paid to ship it to Bulova's repair shop in NY and 3 months later I get my watch back with a bill for the return shipping. On top of that the first time I used the stopwatch, it wouldn't set back to zero!!

great watch
Nice watch, I like the numerals but a darker color would be easier to see. AR coating of the glass would be an improvement.Update: Battery (Hitachi Maxell Lithium 90mAh, CR2016) lasted 3 years. OCV 2.89V discharged vs. 3.25V new.It was difficult to replace. The watch did not stop abruptly, just starting to lose time, a few minutes per day.OCV 2.89VBrand/Part No. - mAh ratingDuracell DL2016 - 72EEMB CR2016 - 75Energizer ECR2016 - 80Kingcell CR2016 - 70Kodak KCR2016 - 80Maxell CR2016 - 90Panasonic CR2016 - 90Rayovac BR2016 - 70Renata CR2016 - 80Sanyo CR2016 - 80Sony CR2016 - 85Varta CR2016 - 90

Amazing watch.
It is a well made watch. It's amazing the way that the tiny hands for 1/10th and 1/100th of a second flies when you start the chronograph. The feature I like best is the two modes that the hand for the seconds moves (in the hour mode it moves as a self-wind automatic watch and in chronograph mode it moves as an old fashioned counterweight clock).Another good feature is it has 1/1000th of a second, but obviously it is impossible to take a mesure with that kind of precision just using your eyes and finger.Cons I think the watch has:- It doesn't has any glow in the dark or tritium so you won't be able to read the hour in the dark.- The chronograph hands (minutes and hours) are directly engaged so it becomes very difficult to read it when the hands are between two marks (also dial for hours and minutes are too small).- Date background color is not exactly the same as the dial one.- When chronograph button is pressed the hand takes too long to get in position (a complete spin takes 10 sec)In summary is a very good watch with a balance between sport and elegance but there are a couple of thing to improve a little.

Good watch, some excellent features, but not great. Don't spend more than $500 on this watch.
I like this watch a lot, but with multiple exceptions. What I like the most about this watch is the quality of the bands, they're fantastic, and perfect for large wrist. The automatic movement is very nice as well, and is the face of the watch. Now here are my personal exceptions for what I feel makes the watch a 3/5 stars... There are no lumen markers, so I can't ever see what time it is at night. The case housing (body) feels too light. The crystal distorts the display (face) when viewed at even a slight angle - this is a personal peeve, because it makes it difficult to find the time by looking down.

Love it!
What a great watch. The Chronograph is awesome, the hack on the second hand is amazing! The price on the one I bought was unbelievable. Less than $225. This watch is elegant and a real head turner. Watch geeks like me will love the chronograph and impressionist movement. The case seemed a little big to me at 47 mm but it wears like a 45. Great watch for the money. I will buy another impressionist soon.

I love this watch
WOW, I love this watch. It is stunning and for the 2 weeks I have had it I have had numerous positive comments from people. Very accurate timing and just overall beautiful. The face is large and easy to read. There is no illuminated hands or numbers so can't see in dark at all but I knew that when I ordered it. The watch band isn't that great, but I can easily replace that with a better quality leather band if I wanted to.

Awesome Watch!
One of my favorite watches in my collection! 46mm face and good weight. I did however change the black leather band to a brown clasp band because I felt it suited the watch better especially with all of the rose gold accents. Its even got a chrono to the 1000th of a second....not sure when I would ever need that type of accuracy but whatever.
