Reliable and Precise Japanese Quartz Movement
The 96B104 brings the best from the world-famous Japanese Quartz movement.
With it, you won’t need to regularly replace the batteries or worry about causing a negative impact on the environment.
The thin silver hands move effortlessly without any sound and are very visible in the white-colored dial.
According to many consumers, the precious of this timepiece is quite good despite its basic nature.
You can be certain of always keeping time.
Classic Analog Display with Simple White Dial
Boasting of an analog display, this wristwatch brings out a timeless appeal.
It has a round face with thin silver hands (hour, minute, second).
The hour markers are plain sticks with no numbers.
In addition, the dial is plain white with no logos, signatures, or lettering.
The only other thing you find on the face is the date cyclops.
Right next to the 3 o’clock marking is the clearly visible date cyclops while the model number is marked below the 6 o’clock marking.
The baton hands feature a mountain pointed design that gives it a classic and minimalistic appeal.
Due to its classic styling and simplicity, it should suit formal and informal occasions.
Shatterproof Scratch Resistant Mineral Crystal
The watch’s dial window is made of tough mineral crystal to protect the dial, hour markers, the hands, and date cyclops.
It feels tougher than options such as acrylic and should withstand shatter better than the likes of sapphire.
The scratch-resistant nature ensures the watch still looks clear and classy even after banging, knocking or brushing it against other objects.
Like the case, the face is also lightweight.
The watch weighs less than 1.44 ounces making it good for daily wear.
Expensive-Looking Crocodile Textured Strap
The first impression you get about the watch is that it’s expensive.
Many people say this because of the crocodile textured straps that are made from high-grade calfskin.
They are fairly thin (20mm thick) and have an ultra-smooth finish that feels alright on the skin.
The tapered ends of the flexible band are secured by a silver metal buckle bearing the Bulova emblem.
The black color creates a good contrast with the silver case and contributes to the sober appearance.
Polished Stainless Steel Case
With a case made of stainless steel, you are more certain the sensitive components are well-protected from dirt, dust, vibration, and impact.
This aspect is evidenced by the watch’s remarkable shock proofing and water resistance up to 30 meters (100 feet).
And with a case diameter of 37milimeteres and a thickness of 5.9 millimeters, the watch feels lightweight and is also not bulky.
You will worry less about fading, corrosion, or rust courtesy of the polished stainless steel nature.
In Conclusion
The 96B104 is without-a-doubt a simple watch.
It has a plain dial with minimal frills; it’s made of lightweight stainless steel and has crocodile-textured leather straps.
Nevertheless, behind the simplicity lies a remarkable timepiece that boasts of the latest technology, precision, reliability, and elegance.
Simply put, its “simplicity at its best” and very much worth buying.
