Items Description

The Bulova Marc Anthony Men's Automatic Marine Star Stainless Steel Watch,Open Aperture,Exhibition Case Back,Diamond Accent Blue Sunray Dial, (Model:98D184) is a bold statement in horological design, born from a collaboration with the iconic artist Marc Anthony. This 44mm timepiece captures a spirit of fearless self-expression, merging the robust heritage of the Marine Star dive watch lineage with a modern, avant-garde aesthetic. The model 98D184 commands attention not through excess, but through deliberate, artful engineering—each element, from the open aperture dial to the exhibition case back, is curated to celebrate the mechanics of time.

 

At its heart lies a visible automatic movement, a 21-jewel caliber that beats with a 42-hour power reserve. This is not merely a watch; it is a kinetic sculpture. The blue sunray dial serves as a dramatic canvas, catching light in shifting waves, while faceted diamond accents add a refined brilliance at the hour markers. The open aperture at 12 o'clock reveals the oscillating balance wheel in action, and the exhibition case back offers a full view of the movement's intricate precision. Finished with a silver-tone stainless steel bracelet and a secure push-button deployment clasp, the Bulova 98D184 is built for both the depths of the ocean and the demands of a night out.

 

Key Advantages of the Bulova Marc Anthony Men's Automatic Marine Star Stainless Steel Watch,Open Aperture,Exhibition Case Back,Diamond Accent Blue Sunray Dial, (Model:98D184)

 

1. Open Heart Automatic Movement with Exhibition Views

The model 98D184 redefines mechanical visibility with a dual-window approach to its 21-jewel automatic caliber. The open aperture on the dial provides a front-row seat to the oscillating balance wheel, while the fully transparent exhibition case back reveals the entire movement architecture. This design invites the wearer to connect with the mechanics of timekeeping, making each glance at the wrist an engaging experience.

 

• Aperture at 12 O'Clock: A cutout in the blue sunray dial frames the balance wheel's continuous motion.
• Full Exhibition Case Back: Showcases the decorated automatic movement, including the rotor and gear train.
• 21 Jewels & 28,800 vph: The movement operates at a high frequency for reliable precision and smooth sweep.
• 42-Hour Power Reserve: Keeps running for nearly two days when fully wound, ensuring consistent performance.

 

2. Diamond-Accented Blue Sunray Dial

The dial of the Bulova 98D184 is a masterclass in light play and material contrast. The blue sunray finish radiates outward, creating a shifting tapestry of deep navy to vibrant cerulean under different lighting angles. Into this luminous field, genuine diamond accents are set at each hour marker, adding precise points of white brilliance. The result is a dial that feels both deep and airy, anchored by the practical readability offered by luminous hands and applied indices.

 

• Sunray Texture: A radial brushing effect that catches and reflects ambient light.
• Genuine Diamond Hour Markers: Each marker is a small, faceted diamond for refined sparkle.
• Luminous Hands & Indices: Filled with Super-LumiNova for clear visibility in low light.
• Date Display: A functional calendar window at the 3 o'clock position.

 

3. Robust Marine Star Legacy with 200m Water Resistance

True to the Marine Star lineage, the 98D184 is engineered for aquatic performance without sacrificing its dressy demeanor. A screw-down crown and case back ensure a water resistance rating of 200 meters (660 feet), making it suitable for recreational scuba diving and professional marine activities. The 44mm stainless steel case is constructed with a unidirectional rotating bezel featuring a precision-engraved 60-minute scale, allowing divers to track elapsed time underwater with confidence. This duality—a watch equally at home on the boat deck and at a formal dinner—is a hallmark of the Marc Anthony series.

 

• 200m Water Resistance: Certified for scuba diving and high-impact water sports.
• Screw-Down Crown & Case Back: Sealed to prevent moisture ingress under pressure.
• Unidirectional Bezel: A scratch-resistant insert with clear minute markings for dive timing.
• Stainless Steel Bracelet: Solid links with a push-button deployment clasp for a secure, custom fit.

 

4. Marc Anthony Design Collaboration

The Marc Anthony series represents a fusion of musical artistry and watchmaking precision. The design brief for the 98D184 was inspired by the performer's own aesthetic: bold, unapologetic, yet refined. Subtle design cues—such as the signature "M" motif subtly engraved on the case side and the custom clasp—connect the watch to its creative origin without being overt. This collaboration elevates the Marine Star platform into a collector's piece, offering a narrative that resonates with fans of both horology and Latin music culture.

 

• Artist Inspiration: Designed in collaboration with Marc Anthony to reflect his personal style.
• Unique Engravings: "M" motif on case side and clasp for discreet branding.
• Limited Edition Feel: A distinct offering within the Marine Star collection, available only through this collaboration.

 

5. Versatile Sizing & Wrist Presence

With a 44mm case diameter and substantial 14mm thickness, the Bulova 98D184 carries a commanding yet balanced presence on the wrist. The lug-to-lug measurement of approximately 50mm ensures it sits flat against most wrist sizes, and the integrated bracelet tapers to a comfortable fit. The blue sunray dial and diamond accents keep the visual weight centered on the face, while the stainless steel construction provides a reassuring heft that signals quality. This size strikes a sweet spot between a classic dive watch and a modern luxury sports watch, making it suitable for wrists 7 inches and above.
