BULOVA Precisionist 96B158 Quartz Watch

High Accuracy 262Khz watch with sweep second hand and leather strap

The Bulova Precisionist 96B158 is a remarkable timepiece that stands out in the world of quartz watches. The photos do not do this piece justice at all. So here’s a detailed look at what makes this watch special:

Design and Build

The watch features a stainless steel case with a sleek, polished finish that gives it a sophisticated look. But the dial is just something else. The black* dial has a rotating swirl pattern, broken up by bright silver applied indices on a railtrack style ring with a date window at the 3 o'clock position.

* We're describing the dial as black; some describe as grey. It's a very deep anthracite colour, almost black, difficult to say one way or the other 

A raised, outer ring with minute markers adds to the 3D look, while the silver hands ensure superb legibility at all angles and in all light conditions. The second hand is balanced by Bulova's infinity logo, pointing to the fact that this watch features the acclaimed Precisionist movement. The famous Bulova tuning fork logo appears on the clasp and pull-out crown of the watch.


The black calfskin leather strap adds a classic touch and really suits this watch well. Of course, it's easy to swap out for a stainless steel bracelet if you wish to do so.

Movement and Accuracy

What truly sets the Bulova Precisionist apart is its unique, high-performance quartz movement. The proprietary three-pronged quartz crystal movement operates at a frequency of 262 kHz, which is eight times faster than standard quartz watches. This results in unparalleled accuracy, with the watch offering a phenomenal claimed accuracy of +/-10 seconds a year.


Additionally, the smooth sweeping second hand, which mimics the motion of an automatic watch runs at 16 beats a second instead of the usual 2 beats per second usually seen on even high end quartz watches.


It has been noted that the motion is actually smoother than that found on a Grand Seiko and other watches cost well into four figures, and is offered here at a price which won't cost you a month's salary.


The Bulova Precisionist 96B158 offers a special blend of elegance, class leading precision and unique design from one of the oldest and most famous names in watchmaking, ensuring that it is a standout choice for anyone looking for a reliable and stylish quartz watch. Its accuracy and smooth second hand are particularly noteworthy, as is the remarkable value this watch offers you.
