Bulova introduced its first line of wristwatches in 1919. The company grew and prospered, and soon early radio and television ads were declaring, "America runs on Bulova time." In the 1950s, continuing its legacy of innovation, Bulova introduced Accutron, the first electronic watch, and the first breakthrough in timekeeping technology in over 300 years. The Accutron timing mechanism was later adapted for use by NASA computers and a Bulova timer was even placed on the moon to control transmissions of data. Bulova timepieces have kept official time aboard Air Force One and have also served as official timepieces for U.S. Olympic teams.

Today, Bulova maintains its tradition of excellence in technology and design, offering a diverse collection of beautiful precision timepieces for every occasion.
Product Description
The world's most accurate watch with a continuously sweeping second hand. Two of the factors that affect accuracy in a quartz watch are temperature changes and vibration frequency. Bulova Precisionist technology addresses both by adding a third prong to the quartz crystal and increasing the total vibrations to eight times the frequency of a standard quartz watch.
Precisionist is a quartz watch with a second hand that beats 16 times per second, while those on standard quartz watches beat only one time per second. As a result, the continuous motion of the Precisionist second hand is even more fluid than all mechanical watch second hands that beat only 8 to 10 times per second.

Precision and Accuracy Redefined
With a frequency of 262.144 kilohertz, Precisionist offers the highest vibrational frequency available in any watch today. This dramatic increase in frequency diminishes the effect of temperature fluctuations and produces extraordinary precision. Most quartz watches are accurate to 15 seconds a month. Bulova Precisionist is accurate to... 10 seconds... a year.

They are done in a retro style, but in terms of function and a size, there are modern watches all around. Size wise, the Superocean Heritage comes in three size, from 38mm to a large 46mm. Of course the 46mm is my favorite, and actually "wears" smaller than its size would lead you to believe. The Smaller 38mm version has a very nice subsidiary seconds dial that I would love to see on the larger models.

The Breiting Superocean Heritage has function in mind as well as style. It is a classic diver's watch through and through. Typical features include an easy to grip rotating bezel for time measurements, as well as a depth rating of 200 meters. 100 meters is about as deep as any free swimming diver can reach. Like many Breiting models, the Superocean Heritage is a certified Chronometer, and will please users with its accuracy.

Images of this Breiting really do not do it justice. You have wear it appreciate the absolute ease of legibility and well it compliments most any attire. When looking at this watch, you have to understand part of it is Breiting's attempt to create a handsome diving watch unique from the gold standard which is the Rolex Submariner. While the Rolex is handsome watch by all measures, the Breiting arguably takes a more masculine approach with this diving watch from the company that specializes in dead-on reliability for pilots, drivers, and anyone else needing a trusted time keeper and measuring device at their side. My choice is either the black or blue face with the rubber strap.

SPLURGE OR NOT? Luxury watches range from just under $1,000 to $100,000 and more. Among the most expensive are the prized tourbillions, which only an elite group of master watchmakers has the skills to produce. (The two-hundred-year-old mechanism consists of a revolving carriage that holds the balance wheel and escapement and makes a complete turn every sixty seconds to average out timekeeping errors caused by gravity.) A watch is inevitably a status symbol, and it's up to you to figure out what kind of status you want to symbolize. If you're really serious, luxury watchmakers are ready to accommodate.

ROSE, WHITE, OR YELLOW GOLD? The tint of a piece of gold depends on the proportion of copper and silver mixed in with the pure yellow gold. Yellow will always be stylish, but you might consider one of the myriad rose-gold options that received all the attention at this year's trade show in, where else, Switzerland. Rose has the most copper of the three golds, which gives it a soft, pinkish hue. Not all men go for that, butif you've got the cash for a rose-gold watch, you've probably got the brass to back it up.

STEEL OR TITANIUM? Luxury watchmakers are turning out product in high-grade stainless steel, which is strong and shiny and highly resistant to rust and corrosion. But the next major trend seems to be titanium, which is 30 percent stronger and 50 percent lighter than steel, more corrosion resistant, antimagnetic, and even hypoallergenic. A titanium watch does feel amazingly light and comfortable on the wrist, but the trade-off is a subdued--some say dull--gray watch that, for all its strength, scratches easily.

MECHANICAL OR QUARTZ? The movement, which is the engine of the watch, measures time in one of two ways: electronically or mechanically. In an electronic watch, a paper-thin piece of quartz is given an electric charge that causes it to vibrate 32,768 times per second. This makes it accurate to within a minute per year. A mechanical watch has a mainspring whose gradual unwinding moves the watch's hands. Mechanical movements are either hand wound or automatic (also called "self-winding"), meaning the movement winds itself using arotor that spins in response to the natural movement of the wearer's arm. Mechanical watches lose an hour a year.

SIMPLE OR COMPLICATED? In watchmaking terms, a complication is any function beyond simple time telling in a mechanical watch, such as a calendar or a moon-phase indicator (which is coming back this year). Usually, though, the term refers to sophisticated mechanisms like perpetual calendars and split-second chronographs, which contain hundreds of tiny parts hand assembled by the world's most accomplished watchmakers. Because they're so labor-intensive, complicated watches are expensive and prized for the feats they perform.

BIG OR BIGGER? Over the last few years, men's wristwatches have grown as if on steroids; they broke the forty-millimeter-diameter barrier a few years ago and are still pumping up. The reason? Mostly style. The current trend was largely inspired by the recent reissue of an old Italian diver's watch, which was originally designed large so it would be visible in the murky Mediterranean. These days, if your watch looks like a hockey puck on your wrist, you're horologically chic, if a bit showy.

ROUND OR SQUARE? Round is still the most common face shape, but a revival of alternatives is afoot. The tonneau (shaped like a barrel) is leading the nonround-watch pack at the moment, but your options include rectangles, squares, and ovals, among others. Many people will size a man up by his watch, so consider that an uncommon shape might set you apart from the masses.

DO I NEED A CHRONOGRAPH? Most guys prize chronographs--timepieces with a stopwatch function--thanks to the macho, sporty look of all those buttons and subdials. They are also functional and can time an event to one fifth of a second for mechanical chronos and to one hundredth of a second in digital quartz chronos. But unless you've just signed up for the Ironman, they're mostly for adornment.

DO I NEED A CHRONOMETER? A chronometer is a high-precision watch whose accuracy is verified by an independent agency called the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Bureau. Watch companies send uncased movements to the bureau, which subjects them to a battery of tests, after which they're certified as official chronometers. A status symbol, sure, but a nice distinction for the hardcore connoisseur.

FIVE BARS OR TWENTY? Watches have different levels of water resistance, indicated on the dial or case back. Pay close attention to that fine print, because the depth units are anything but universal. Most companies give water resistance in meters. Occasionally you'll come across ATMs (for atmospheres) or bars, both of which are equal to ten meters. Once you've done the math, choose a depth based on your needs. Water-resistant to fifty meters means you can wear it in the shower. Sports watches generally have hundred-meter (swimming, snorkeling) or two-hundred-meter (recreational scuba diving) water resistance. You don't need more than that unless you intend to wear the watch deep-sea diving. And a watch marked simply "water resistant" can withstand your lighter summer showers.

De Ville Chronograph Ladies’
The De Ville Co-Axial Chronograph Ladies’ of the OMEGA Timeless Collection is a tribute to the Olympic Games and a celebration of the fine art of watchmaking. The diamond-set bezel and refined mother-of-pearl dial set off Arabic numerals in the official colours of the Olympic Games, with a diamond briolette on the crown completing the luxury touch. Elliptical counters add a subtly feminine refinement of the popular OMEGA models of the fifties. This superb Olympic Timeless Collection De Ville is powered by the high-end calibre 3313 self-winding chronograph movement, which is fitted with the OMEGA Co-Axial Escapement for better accuracy over time. The movement’s precision is attested by its chronometer certificate issued by the official Swiss chronometer testing institute COSC. It has a power reserve of 55 hours. Fitted with a domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on the inside, this De Ville Co-Axial Chronograph Ladies’ is water resistant to 100 metres / 330 feet and is available exclusively with a white alligator leather strap.

The OMEGA Olympic Timeless Collection will undoubtedly appeal to collectors of Olympic Games memorabilia, although the design of these unique timepieces is sure to interest admirers of classic timepieces as well, collectors of OMEGA chronographs in particular.
