Bulova Oceanographer Automatic Men’s Silver Watch 96B405
Oceanographer GMT | SKU: 96B405
The Bulova Oceanographer GMT 96B405 combines a distinctive sports-watch design with practical travel-oriented functionality. Its stainless-steel case presents a curved profile, while the vivid blue dial, red accents and blue-and-red 24-hour bezel create a confident, immediately recognizable appearance. Designed for dependable performance in aquatic environments, the watch includes a screw-down crown and offers 200 metres of water resistance.
Luminescent details support clear reading in lower-light conditions, while the dedicated 24-hour hand and date display add useful information to the main time display. The result is a capable Oceanographer interpretation with a strong visual identity and a functional GMT layout.
Design & Styling
The silver-toned stainless-steel construction gives the watch a versatile foundation, suitable for the robust character associated with the Oceanographer style. Its curved case shape adds visual flow to the profile rather than relying on a completely flat silhouette. This is complemented by the box sapphire crystal, whose raised form contributes to the watch’s distinctive presence while protecting the dial.
Colour plays a central role in the design. The vivid blue dial establishes a rich, maritime-inspired backdrop, while elegant red touches echo the red section of the bezel and bring definition to the overall composition.
Dial, Bezel & Functionality
The blue dial is arranged for practical legibility, with attached luminescent hour markers and bold hands treated with luminescent paint. These details help the principal time display remain visible when available light is reduced. Alongside the standard hour and minute indication, a dedicated 24-hour hand supports the watch’s GMT functionality.
A date display provides an additional everyday reference without interrupting the dial’s vivid colour scheme. Surrounding the dial is a bidirectional rotating 24-hour bezel in blue and red. Its two-tone design makes the GMT character immediately apparent and adds a strong functional accent to the watch’s exterior.
A 24-hour hand and bidirectional rotating 24-hour bezel support the watch’s GMT design.
Luminescent hour markers and bold, luminescent hands aid time reading in low light.
The screw-down crown contributes to the watch’s water-ready construction, rated to 200 metres.
The 96B405 is presented as an automatic men’s Oceanographer watch with a functional GMT focus.
Case & Water Resistance
The curved stainless-steel case is paired with a screw-down crown, a feature suited to the watch’s performance-focused Oceanographer identity. With 200 metres of water resistance, this model is built for confident use around water, while the box sapphire crystal provides a durable, polished window onto the blue dial.
