Bulova 97B216 lcon Precisionist Black Dial Gold Tone Case Watch

A nod to classic mid-century style

The Bulova 97B216 strikes a balance between subtle elegance and daily wearability. Its champagne-toned dial, brushed for warmth rather than shine, recalls the understated palette of 1960s dress watches while keeping a clean, modern edge. Slim baton markers and minimalist hands ensure legibility without clutter, leaving the dial open and easy on the eyes.

Case proportions built for comfort

Sized at 40mm, the stainless steel case wears neatly on most wrists without overpowering. A gold-tone finish lends a refined touch while the slim profile makes it a practical choice for both office attire and casual outings. The case is paired with a dark brown leather strap, stitched at the edges to maintain a vintage character, and secured with a simple tang buckle.

Quartz precision in a timeless frame

Inside beats a reliable quartz movement quietly efficient and low-maintenance, offering the ease of grab-and-go accuracy. The watch is finished with a flat mineral crystal and offers water resistance rated to 30 meters, enough for incidental splashes but best kept out of the pool.

A versatile modern classic

The Bulova 97B216 appeals to those who appreciate the timeless design codes of traditional dress watches without straying into formality overload. It’s a watch that looks as natural with a collared shirt as it does with weekend denim, proving that mid-century inspiration can remain effortlessly contemporary.

Whether you’re building your first serious watch collection or looking for a straightforward daily driver with a refined edge, the Bulova 97B216 makes its case with quiet confidence.
