Bulova Men's Curv - 98A185

Items Description

The Bulova Men's Curv - 98A185 is a chronograph watch featuring a curved case profile and a 44 mm rose gold-tone stainless steel construction, designed for wearers who value a distinctive silhouette. This model integrates the NR20 high-precision quartz movement within an ergonomic curved case that follows the natural contour of the wrist. With a black dial protected by an anti-reflective curved sapphire crystal, this timepiece pairs technical detailing with a refined visual character. The black rubber strap complements the rose gold-tone case, creating a balanced contrast suitable for both professional settings and weekend wear.

 

The Bulova Men's Curv - 98A185 includes an exhibition caseback that exposes the workings of the NR20 movement, offering a view of its internal structure. The 44 mm case diameter and 25 mm lug width provide a substantial presence on the wrist, while the curved design reduces bulk during wear. The black dial features luminous hands and chronograph sub-dials, supporting readability in low-light conditions. As a splash-resistant model, this watch is suited to daily wear but is not intended for prolonged water exposure or swimming. This timepiece reflects Bulova's focus on combining unconventional case geometry with dependable quartz accuracy.

 

Key Advantages of the Bulova Men's Curv - 98A185

 

1. Curved Case Architecture

The defining characteristic of the Curv series is the curved case shape, which sets this chronograph apart from conventional flat-profile watches. The ergonomic curve allows the case to sit closer to the wrist, improving comfort and reducing the watch's visual thickness.

 

• Wrist Conformity: The curved case follows the natural shape of the wrist for a secure and comfortable fit.
• Reduced Profile: The curvature minimises the visual bulk of the 44 mm case during wear.
• Distinctive Design: The arched silhouette provides a recognisable look that stands out among standard round chronographs.

 

2. NR20 High-Precision Quartz Movement

The Bulova Men's Curv - 98A185 is powered by the NR20 high-precision quartz movement, which offers greater accuracy than standard quartz calibres. This movement is visible through the exhibition caseback, allowing wearers to observe the internal components in motion.

 

• High-Precision Accuracy: The NR20 movement delivers chronograph timing with enhanced precision for daily and event-based use.
• Exhibition Caseback: A transparent caseback reveals the movement's inner workings, adding a mechanical dimension to a quartz timepiece.
• Battery Type: The watch operates on a SR927W battery, rated at 1.55V and non-rechargeable, which is a standard cell for this movement.

 

3. Rose Gold-Tone Stainless Steel Case

The 44 mm case is crafted from stainless steel with a rose gold-tone finish, offering a warm metallic appearance that pairs well with both formal and casual attire. The case's finish is complemented by the black dial and black rubber strap, creating a cohesive colour scheme.

 

• Case Diameter: A 44 mm case width provides a substantial presence suitable for larger wrists.
• Material: Stainless steel construction ensures structural rigidity and resistance to everyday wear.
• Finish: The rose gold-tone coating gives the case a distinctive warm hue that differentiates it from standard silver or steel finishes.

 

4. Anti-Reflective Curved Sapphire Crystal

The dial of the Bulova Men's Curv - 98A185 is protected by a curved sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating. This combination preserves the curved aesthetic while improving dial legibility under various lighting conditions.

 

• Scratch Resistance: Sapphire crystal offers high resistance to scratches and abrasions during daily handling.
• Reduced Glare: The anti-reflective coating minimises reflections, keeping the black dial readable in bright environments.
• Curved Profile: The crystal follows the case curvature, maintaining the watch's signature design language.

 

5. Black Dial with Chronograph Functionality

The black dial houses a chronograph complication with multiple sub-dials, providing stopwatch functionality alongside standard time display. Luminous hands and hour markers support readability in low-light conditions.

 

• Chronograph Sub-Dials: Multiple sub-dials track elapsed seconds and minutes for timing activities.
• Luminous Elements: Hands and markers feature luminescent material for visibility in darkness.
• Dial Contrast: The black dial against rose gold-tone accents offers clear contrast for quick reading.

 

6. Black Rubber Strap with 25 mm Lug Width

The watch is fitted with a black rubber strap that attaches at a 25 mm lug width. The rubber material offers flexibility and resistance to sweat, making the watch suitable for extended wear in warmer conditions.

 

• Comfort: Rubber conforms to the wrist and remains comfortable during prolonged use.
• Durability: The strap resists moisture and perspiration better than leather alternatives.
• Secure Fit: The 25 mm lug width ensures a stable connection between strap and case.

 

The Bulova Men's Curv - 98A185 is best suited for watch wearers who appreciate curved case design and want a chronograph that offers high-precision quartz accuracy in a rose gold-tone finish. Its combination of an ergonomic profile, sapphire crystal, and exhibition caseback makes it a practical choice for those seeking a distinctive daily timepiece that stands apart from conventional round watches.
