Overview

The Bulova Marine Star 98A225 is designed for those who appreciate mechanical watchmaking alongside a confident, contemporary appearance. Its three-hand automatic movement is presented through an open aperture, adding visual interest to the dial while allowing the character of the movement to form part of the watch’s design.

From its stainless-steel construction to its blue accents and textured silicone strap, every element contributes to a versatile timepiece with a clear nautical influence. With water resistance up to 200 meters, the Marine Star is suited to everyday wear as well as a broad range of active pursuits.

Dial & Display

The silver-tone and white dial creates a crisp foundation for the watch’s contrasting details. Blue Roman numerals and markers provide definition and reinforce the Marine Star’s maritime-inspired character, while the blue-rimmed outer ring adds an additional layer of color around the dial.

The open aperture is a defining feature of this model. Rather than presenting a fully closed dial, it offers a glimpse into the automatic movement, giving the three-hand display a more dimensional and horological appearance. A durable flat mineral crystal protects the dial and helps preserve its clean, legible presentation.

Case & Construction

The watch is encased in stainless steel, providing a modern and durable foundation for the Marine Star design. The blue-rimmed outer ring brings a nautical accent to the case and coordinates naturally with the dial details and strap. Together, the stainless-steel finish and blue elements create a balanced look that can move easily between casual daily wear and more adventurous settings.

Movement & Water Resistance

At the heart of the Bulova Marine Star is a three-hand automatic movement. Its self-winding mechanical format supports the watch’s traditional timepiece character, while the open-aperture design makes the movement an integral part of the visual experience.

Water resistance up to 200 meters adds practical versatility, supporting the watch’s nautical identity and making it appropriate for everyday use and a variety of adventures.

Strap & Wearing Style

A blue textured silicone strap completes the modern aesthetic. Its textured surface complements the blue outer ring, numerals, and markers, while the striking red underside introduces a contrasting detail that becomes visible as the watch is worn. The silicone construction offers a comfortable feel and supports the watch’s versatile, active character.
