Bulova 98B468 Racer Chronograph Green Dial Bracelet

Bulova 98B468: Green Means Go

The Bulova 98B468 Racer Chronograph takes the brand’s motorsport heritage and dials it up with a vivid green sunray dial that catches light like a racing livery under track lights. This is not a subtle watch, and it does not pretend to be. The two-tone green and black aluminum tachymeter ring frames the whole package with purpose, while the racing-pattern chapter ring adds visual depth that photographs cannot fully capture.

A Dial Worth Staring At

The green dial does the heavy lifting here. Silver-tone subdials at 9 and 3 o’clock handle the chronograph minutes and running seconds, and a date window at 6 o’clock rounds out the functionality. Luminous hands and applied indices mean this watch remains legible after dark. The green chronograph seconds hand is a nice touch that ties the whole color story together.

Sapphire at This Price

One detail that separates the Racer from most quartz chronographs under $700: an anti-reflective sapphire crystal. Most competitors at this price still use mineral glass. Sapphire resists scratches in ways that mineral simply cannot, and the AR coating cuts glare so the dial stays readable at any angle. This is the kind of spec choice that suggests Bulova is serious about the Racer line.

Built Like It Means It

The 42mm stainless steel case sits on a three-link bracelet with a deployant clasp. At 192 grams, it has genuine heft without feeling clumsy. Water resistance is rated to 100 meters, so swimming and snorkeling are fine. The 6S21 quartz movement keeps time to within 15 seconds per month, which is solid for a chronograph in this segment.

The Bottom Line

The Bulova 98B468 Racer is a chronograph that commits to its motorsport theme without going overboard. The green dial will not be for everyone, but if you want a capable quartz chrono with sapphire crystal and genuine visual personality, this delivers. The 22mm lug width means strap options are wide open if the bracelet ever gets boring.
