Overview

The Bulova Men’s Sutton Collection 98A304 brings together an assertive modern design and the visible mechanical character of an automatic movement. Its daring black-tone stainless steel case is shaped with faceted surfaces and combines brushed and polished finishes, creating contrast across the watch while giving the overall profile a distinctive, attention-commanding appearance.

A transparent center on the dial reveals the skeletonized movement beneath, turning the mechanism into a central part of the design rather than keeping it hidden. Paired with a black leather strap and a practical pin buckle, this Bulova timepiece offers a dramatic yet versatile look for a range of occasions.

Case & Styling

The faceted black-tone stainless steel case gives the watch its powerful visual identity. Brushed and polished treatments work together to emphasize the case’s angular construction, while the polished bezel adds a clean, reflective detail around the dial. The combination of surface finishes provides depth and helps the watch shift character as it catches the light.

A flat mineral crystal protects the dial and maintains the watch’s streamlined appearance. Together, the case, bezel, and crystal create a balanced presentation that is bold without relying on unnecessary decoration.

Dial & Display

The dial is defined by its transparent center, offering a direct view of the skeletonized 21-jewel automatic movement. This open design adds visual interest and allows the movement’s mechanical construction to become part of the watch’s display.

Skeleton-style hands complement the exposed mechanism and feature luminescent fill for improved visibility. Applied silver-tone indices provide clear points of reference while reinforcing the watch’s modern black-and-silver aesthetic.

Movement & Viewing Details

Inside, the watch is powered by a skeletonized 21-jewel automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve. The automatic configuration and visible architecture give the timepiece a distinctly mechanical character, while the stated power reserve supports continued operation when the watch is not being worn for a limited period.

An exhibition case back extends the viewing experience to the reverse of the watch, providing another captivating perspective of the movement. The front and back displays work together to make the inner workings a defining feature of the design.

Strap & Everyday Functionality

The watch is paired with a black leather strap that complements the black-tone case and keeps the overall styling cohesive. A pin buckle provides a straightforward fastening solution, making the strap practical for regular wear.

With 100m water resistance, the watch is designed with a useful level of water protection for everyday wear. Its combination of luminous hands, clear applied indices, durable mineral crystal, and versatile black styling makes it suitable for both polished and more relaxed occasions.
