Bulova Sutton Automatic

96A269

A rectangular automatic with an open aperture on the dial showing the balance wheel — the complication that normally arrives at four times the money, in a 33 mm case on a leather strap.

What we like

  • An open aperture showing the balance wheel, which almost nothing at this level offers
  • Rectangular case at 33 mm wide — a shape and a size the market barely serves any more
  • Named calibre with a 42-hour reserve, unlike Bulova's own Surveyor
  • Mineral exhibition caseback as well, so the movement is visible from both sides

Bulova's distinguishing technology is a 262 kHz quartz movement — roughly eight times the frequency of a standard crystal — which produces a smoothly sweeping seconds hand and unusually fine timing resolution.
