Bulova Sutton Men’s Automatic Watch 96A135
Classic Automatic Collection | SKU: 96A135
Part of Bulova’s Classic Automatic Collection, the 96A135 combines a refined stainless-steel case with a black leather strap and a distinctive black-and-grey dial. Its self-winding mechanical movement is powered by the wearer’s movement, eliminating the need for a battery. Designed to reveal the character of its mechanics, the watch features a double on-dial aperture and an exhibition caseback that offer views of the movement from both the front and rear.
Design & Styling
The 42 mm stainless-steel case gives the watch a confident, versatile presence on the wrist, while the black leather strap introduces a classic and understated finish. A patterned black-and-grey dial creates visual depth, balancing the traditional appeal of an analogue display with the mechanical interest of the visible movement. The screw-back case contributes to the watch’s considered construction and frames the exhibition window on the reverse.
The secure black leather strap is finished with a deployant clasp featuring push buttons. This double-press closure is designed to provide a firm fastening while maintaining the clean appearance of the strap.
Dial & Display
The black-and-grey patterned dial presents an analogue time display with luminous hands and markers for improved legibility in lower-light conditions. A 24-hour subdial adds an additional indication, while the small sweep hand contributes to the watch’s mechanical character. The double on-dial aperture provides a direct glimpse of the self-winding movement, making the watch’s mechanical operation part of its visual identity.
The watch is described with a metalized domed mineral crystal, giving the dial a raised profile and distinctive reflective appearance. The supplied feature list also identifies a sapphire crystal; both crystal descriptions are retained from the original specifications.
Automatic Movement
At the heart of the 96A135 is a self-winding mechanical movement with 21 jewels, identified in the supplied specifications as caliber 82S7. It draws power from the wearer’s movement and requires no battery. The movement provides a stated 42-hour power reserve, and its operation can be appreciated through both the front aperture and the exhibition caseback.
A push-pull crown supports the straightforward operation of the watch, while the listed hacking function allows the seconds hand to stop when the crown is operated for precise setting.
