The Bulova Percheron is a truly unique sports watch in terms of design, technology, and build.
This watch is the official watch of the Manchester United Football team, and that’s evident in their team’s logo on the watch’s face.
So if you’re a fan like me, then you’ll really enjoy this piece.
Aside from that, the watch has gunmetal hands and a great textured black background for the red details.
The case is made of titanium, making this watch very durable.
A Swiss Automatic movement powers this watch, eliminating the need for battery changes and manually rewinding the watch.

Classy And Sporty Design
The carbon fiber dial is probably my favorite part of this watch.
It has a great textured look and serves as a great base for the iconic red markers that mirror the colors of Manchester United.
Another cool detail is the team logo at the 9 o’clock position.
These deep red markers pop and contrast the dial very well, making reading the time easy.
While the colors used in the dial are dark, they also made them luminous so reading the time in the dark is just as convenient.
Protecting the dial is a titanium case, which gives the watch extra durability.
The size of the case also makes the watch look great as the details in the dial truly shine at this size.
The black color of the case also matches the very comfortable rubber strap, giving this watch an overall cohesive design.
Premium Movement For A Premium Watch
The biggest complaint with quartz watches is how you have to get the battery changed, while the biggest complaint about mechanical watches is the need for manual rewinding.
That’s why Automatic movements are among my favorite.
These movements are powered by the natural movement of the arm, so simply wearing the watch will keep it ticking, totally eliminating the need for manual rewinding or battery changes.
A watch like this requires a movement you don’t have to think about too much.
As this is an everyday, casual watch, it will be very easy to wear the watch regularly, which gives it the power to keep on ticking.
On top of that, the movement is also Swiss made, which means it is of high quality.

A Sports Watch For Sports Fans
Manchester United is one of the most iconic teams in the world.
Not only are they one of the most successful teams in football history, but they are also one of the most beloved teams by football fans around the world.
This watch is a great way to support the team without wearing their jersey, which may be too loud for some as the logo is very subtle, yet eye-catching.
But even if you aren’t a fan of the team, the watch still has a very sporty look that will match a bunch of different outfits in your wardrobe.
The durable titanium case of the watch also makes it that the watch won’t be damaged easily.
Overall it has a classy, yet rugged look that makes it great for sports fans.

Customer Scores & Reviews
While doing my research on this model, I decided to check out the review section of Amazon to see what customers thought of the watch.
I wasn’t surprised when I saw very positive reviews.
One person claimed that he still loved the look and feel of the watch, even though he wasn’t really a football fan.
Another customer, however, was a Manchester United fan and loved the subtlety of the team logo.
There were some complaints though.
The main one really being that it only has 100ft of water resistance.
That means you can wear it in the shower, and even when going for a light swim, but it isn’t advisable to wear this watch when going snorkeling or diving.
Conclusion
All in all, this is a great piece regardless of whether you’re a fan of the team or not.
It has a solid movement, it was made with premium materials, and it has a great design, what more do you need from an everyday watch?
