Overview

Part of the Marine Star Collection, the Bulova 96B272 combines a purposeful sport-watch design with practical everyday functionality. Its stainless steel case and matching stainless steel bracelet create a durable, coordinated appearance, while the black dial and black glass insert on the rotating bezel give the watch a distinctly bold profile.

Designed for dependable performance, this men’s six-hand chronograph offers 200-meter water resistance. A calendar function adds useful day-to-day convenience, while luminous hands and markers help maintain dial visibility in a range of conditions.

Design & Styling

The watch presents a strong, coordinated black-and-steel aesthetic. The stainless steel case and bracelet provide a solid metallic foundation, contrasted by the black dial and the black glass insert set into the rotating bezel. This combination gives the Marine Star a confident, technical character without compromising the clarity of its overall design.

The rotating bezel contributes to the watch’s functional appearance, while the chronograph layout gives the dial a detailed, instrument-inspired look. Together, these elements create a practical timepiece suited to an active lifestyle.

Dial, Display & Functionality

The black dial is arranged as a six-hand chronograph, providing a purposeful display with multiple hands for timekeeping and chronograph indications. Luminous hands and markers improve legibility when lighting conditions are less favorable, allowing the principal dial details to remain easier to read.

In addition to chronograph functionality, the watch includes a practical calendar function. These features add versatility while preserving the focused, performance-oriented character expected of the Marine Star Collection.

Case, Crystal & Water Resistance

The stainless steel case is protected by a domed mineral crystal, whose curved profile complements the watch’s substantial sports styling. A screw-back case supports the watch’s durable construction, and the stated 200-meter water resistance makes this Marine Star particularly well suited to water-oriented activities and demanding daily wear.

Bracelet & Closure

A stainless steel bracelet continues the case’s robust appearance and provides a secure metal option for wearing. The watch fastens with a fold-over buckle closure equipped with both a safety bar and an extender. This combination is designed to help keep the watch securely in place while allowing a more comfortable fit on the wrist.
