Items Description
The Bulova Unisex Curv Bracelet - 97P136 represents a landmark achievement in watchmaking, combining a revolutionary curved movement with a luxurious gold-tone aesthetic. This timepiece is distinguished by its proprietary Curv technology, which houses the world's first curved chronograph movement, allowing the case and crystal to follow the natural contour of the wrist for an unprecedented level of comfort and style. The 40mm gold-tone stainless steel case is paired with a matching gold-tone bracelet, creating a cohesive and opulent look that is both unisex in appeal and distinctly modern.
At the heart of this model lies a precision quartz chronograph movement, engineered with a unique arched profile that eliminates the traditional flat-back design. The curved sapphire crystal, treated with anti-reflective coating, protects a silver-toned dial adorned with diamond hour markers, while the screw-back case ensures durability and a water resistance suitable for daily wear. The Bulova Curv - 97P136 is not merely a watch; it is a statement of innovation, crafted for the individual who values both technical prowess and refined design in a single, beautifully curved package.
Key Advantages of the Bulova Unisex Curv Bracelet - 97P136
1. Revolutionary Curved Movement & Case Architecture
The defining characteristic of the Bulova Curv collection is its patented curved movement, which sets it apart from any other quartz chronograph on the market. Unlike traditional watches with flat movements, the Curv's arch-shaped caliber allows the entire watch case to bend around the wrist, reducing the gap between the watch and your skin. This groundbreaking design enhances both comfort and ergonomics, making the watch feel like a natural extension of your arm rather than a bulky accessory.
- Proprietary Movement: The world's first curved chronograph quartz movement, offering a true anatomical fit.
- Curved Case & Crystal: The 40.5mm gold-tone case and sapphire crystal are specifically shaped to mirror the movement's arch.
- Enhanced Comfort: The 46.50mm lug-to-lug curvature ensures the watch sits flush on the wrist, reducing pressure points.
- Screw-Back Case: The curved screw-back design secures the movement while maintaining the smooth, unified line of the case.
2. Diamond-Set Dial with Curved Sapphire Crystal
This specific Bulova Curv - 97P136 variant elevates its dial with genuine diamond hour markers, a feature that adds both luminescence and lasting value. The silver-tone dial is laid out in a classic bicompax chronograph format, with two sub-dials for 60-minute and 60-second tracking, all protected by a double-curved sapphire crystal. The sapphire crystal is not only highly scratch-resistant but also features an anti-reflective treatment that ensures the diamonds and gold-tone hands remain legible in any lighting condition.
- Diamond Hour Markers: Four genuine diamonds are set at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions, adding a touch of brilliance.
- Curved Sapphire Crystal: Provides superior scratch resistance and clarity, perfectly conforming to the case arch.
- Anti-Reflective Treatment: Reduces glare for optimal readability under direct sunlight or bright indoor lighting.
- Chronograph Layout: Sub-dials at 10 o'clock (60-seconds) and 2 o'clock (60-minutes) for precise timing functions.
2. Premium Gold-Tone Bracelet with Deployment Clasp
The Bulova Unisex Curv Bracelet - 97P136 is paired with a full gold-tone stainless steel bracelet that echoes the watch's elegant design language. The bracelet features a polished finish that catches light beautifully, matching the case perfectly. It is secured with a deployment clasp with double push-buttons, offering a secure and seamless fit that is easy to operate. This bracelet is designed for wrists up to approximately 7.5 inches, with removable links for a bespoke adjustment.
- Stainless Steel Links: Durable and hypoallergenic, with a consistent gold-tone plating that resists tarnish.
- Deployment Clasp: Features double push-button release for security and ease of wear, eliminating the need for a loose buckle.

The movement provides accurate timekeeping with a central second hand for continuous seconds, along with the chronograph pushers for precise interval timing.

4. Water Resistance & Daily Durability
While embodying a dressy, refined character, the Bulova Curv - 97P136 is built to withstand the demands of everyday wear. It offers a water resistance of 30 meters (3 ATM), making it splash-proof and rain-resistant, suitable for hand washing and accidental exposure to water. The screw-back case construction further reinforces its integrity, protecting the curved movement from dust and moisture. This balance of elegance and resilience ensures the watch can be worn confidently through a variety of professional and social settings.
