The Bulova Marine Star 98B451 men’s sports watch is a special edition referencing one of the most iconic collections and the sought-after Bulova Marine Star model from the 1970s. The special edition celebrates the 150th anniversary of Bulova, a brand that has never been afraid of innovation and is known for its quality craftsmanship.
The special edition references its predecessor from the 1970s with the original retro Marine Star collection logo on the dial and a unique case back featuring the logo, a ship’s wheel and an anchor.
The Bulova Marine Star 98B451 is powered by a high-frequency Miyota NP20 quartz movement (High Performance Quartz), operating at a frequency of 262 kHz. This is approximately 8 times higher than that of standard quartz movements (32768 Hz). This allows for high accuracy, with a deviation of ± 5 s / month. The movement features a date and a chronograph, displayed on clear subdials with minute and seconds counters. The chronograph is operated using the side pushers: the upper pusher starts and stops it, while the lower pusher resets the measured values. These can be read on the subdials at 3 (1/20 second) and 9 (minutes). The watch can measure intervals of up to one hour. The date display has a black background, preserving the uniform appearance of the dial.
The steel case is complemented by a practical steel strap made of smaller links, finished with a folding clasp. The smaller links allow the strap to fit comfortably on the wrist, and it features a quick-release system for easy replacement with straps.
The case is dominated by a rotating black and red bezel with minute markings. The black dial with prominent hands and indices is protected by a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. A luminescent coating on the hands and indices improves legibility in low-light conditions. This model has a water resistance of 200 m, so it can be worn while swimming. The case diameter is 42,8 mm, ideal for most men’s wrists.

The story of the Bulova brand begins in 1875 and has its roots in Bohemia. The founder was a Czech native Josef Bulova, who founded the J. Bulova Company in New York. He managed to build a large watch factory. In 1912, production was moved to Biel, Switzerland. In addition to the development of technological innovations, the company also scored in the field of marketing. She was the first to use television commercials.
Bulova achieved the greatest success in the development of electronically powered watches. The highlight was the introduction of a system with a tuner called Bulova Accutron. Another astronaut, David Scott, took care of another legendary moment. During the Apollo 15 mission, he took the Bulova Chronograph watch for a walk on the moon.
The Bulova brand is not idle and continues to offer top products in the field of precision. The offer includes a high performance quartz movement operating at a high frequency (262 kHz) with an accuracy of about 10 s per year, or the Curv movement, which is also the first curved movement with a chronograph in the world.
