With its rich burgundy sunburst dial and polished stainless steel case, the Bulova 98B422 Surveyor offers a modern twist on classic elegance. Powered by a 21-jewel automatic movement (caliber 8215), it provides a ~42-hour power reserve and reliable mechanical operation.
The 39 mm silver-tone case features sculpted edges with alternating polished and brushed finishes, and is topped with a flat sapphire crystal for scratch resistance and clarity. A matching 3-link stainless steel bracelet with quick-release spring bars and a push-button deployant clasp ensures both style and convenience.
The dial is accented with rose gold-tone hour markers and hands (with luminous fill for legibility in low light), a magnified date window, and a debossed minute track. Through the exhibition case back (mineral crystal window), the movement and rotor can be admired in action.
Water resistance is minimal (splash resistance), making it suitable for everyday wear but not for swimming or diving.
