Bulova Women's Crystal Watch #97V23

Sparkling with style and Swarovski crystals, this gold-tone Bulova Crystal stainless steel women's watch adds a sophisticated accent to both formal couture and professional wear. It features a thin, tall oval gold-tone watch case with a highly polished finish and a swirling design that's integrated into the fashionable stainless steel bracelet band. Both the bezel and bracelet are accented by tiny Swarovski crystals for added dazzle. Manufactured in Austria, Swarovski crystals are machine-faceted, optically pure, and made of 32 percent lead, producing a highly refractive quality. The white mother-of-pearl dial is accented by golden dotted hour markers and Arabic numerals at 6 and 12 o'clock as well as tiny golden hands. This precise quartz timepiece also features a scratch-resistant mineral crystal and water resistance to 30 meters (100 feet). About Bulova The beginnings of the Bulova Watch Corporation can be traced to a small jewelry store opened on Maiden Lane in New York City in 1875 by Joseph Bulova, a 23-year-old immigrant from Bohemia. In 1911, Bulova began manufacturing boudoir and desk clocks, along with fine pocket watches, which he made and sold in unprecedented numbers. During World War I, wristwatches were issued in the military for their greater convenience. Returning veterans brought them home, and a new fashion was created. In the 1950s, Bulova developed the Accutron, the first electronic watch, which was accurate to keeping time to within two seconds a day. During the 1960s, NASA asked the company to bring its timing expertise to computers for the Space Program. A Bulova timer was placed on the moon's Sea of Tranquility to control the transmissions of vital data through the years. At the heart of each Bulova watch is precision accuracy. From the finest quartz movements to alternative technologies such as solar or mechanical energy, each Bulova watch is guaranteed to be accurate to within one minute a year.
