Bulova Curv 96A186
Official reseller
We are an official reseller of all brand's watches that we sell. That equals to: genuine watches with valid warranty and access to official service.
Extreme precision
This watch's clockwork has 8 times more semi-oscillations than traditional clockworks (262,144 kHz), so when a regular watch can lose up to 15 seconds per week, this lose only about 10 seconds per year!
Sapphire glass
Sapphire is up to 7 times harder than steel, and surpassed only by diamonds on the Mohs scale. This makes sapphire glass a great protection for your watch.
Chronograph
Used for measuring time intervals (also called: Stopwatch). Often constructed as smaller dials in the center of the major dial.
Luminous layer
A luminous layer provides a long-term lightning effect in the dark. It requires only a short-term exposure to light. Usually the pointers, and sometimes the hour markers are coated with this.
Stainless steel bracelet
Tough, durable and elegant; a bracelet made of stainless steel gives the watch a classic quality look.
Water protection: 30 meters (3 bar)
This watch can withstand rain/minor splashes, and cannot be used while swimming or showering. The value refers to the pressure in water, at that depth, while motionless... and should not be seen as the depth for wearing the watch..
Condensation - important!
Rapid changes in temperature can cause condensation inside the watch. If you notice moisture beneath the glass, you should immediately go to a watchmaker, who can open and dry the watch. Even if the signs of moisture disappear, by themselves... the moisture will not - and will eventually damage your watch - so, visit a professional and remove it permanently. Even waterproof watches are not protected against condensation, so keep that in mind if you plan to go from very hot to very cold temperatures - like from a hot sauna directly to the snow. If condensation occurs, it very rarely (if ever) depends on manufacturing, so if your watch is damaged by moisture, the warranty will probably not cover it (it could be manufacturing issues, but... most likely it will be because of the rapid change of temperature = natural causes).

How is the size of the watch measured?
The diameter
The common term is diameter, but since not all watches have circular watch cases, the diameter is actually the width measured from left to right. Note that some manufacturers include the crown (to set the clock) and the buttons when measuring the width, but we try to standardize all the watches by not including the crown as part of the measured width.
The thickness - or height of the watch in profile - is indicated by measuring the watch from top to bottom as illustrated below. By comparison, a 1-euro coin is 2.33 millimeters thick.
One usually defines the watches with these numbers:
Slim: 4-6 millimeter
Normal: 6-12 millimeter
Big: 12-14 millimeter
Oversize: 14-18 millimeter
If you buy this watch together with: and ; tools to easily adjust/replace your bracelet/strap, we will give you a big discount.
We also recommend , for removing scratches on metal - or if you just want to make it look new again. If you have scratches on glass, then this is the item for you: .
