Bulova's New Marine Star: A Salute to E1 Team Miami Racing
Bulova introduces its latest innovation, the Marine Star chronograph, in a bold collaboration with E1 Team Miami. This new chronograph is not merely an aesthetic refresh but represents a significant evolution within the Marine Star collection, underscoring Bulova’s commitment to precision in sports timekeeping.
Design and Specifications
At the heart of the new design is the 43mm stainless steel case, which is water-resistant to 100 meters and eschews the traditional rotating bezel for a streamlined tachymeter scale. This scale is prominently displayed on an angled chapter ring, enhancing the watch's functional appeal. Unlike its predecessors, this model features a 20mm lug width and an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, enhancing both its visual and functional aspects.
Dial Aesthetics
The watch's dial proudly sports the vibrant blue and orange colours of the E1 Team Miami, complemented by crisp white accents and a layout that promotes optimal readability. This theme is consistent with the dynamic and high-speed nature of boat racing, where clarity under duress is paramount. Uniquely, the dial integrates green accents on the chronograph hands for superior legibility, with selective indices highlighted in orange to echo the team's colours.
Enhanced Caseback and Movement
The reverse side of the watch features a customised caseback adorned with a medallion that celebrates the partnership between Bulova, Team Miami, and the E1 Series. This model is powered by the reliable Miyota Caliber 6S20 quartz chronograph movement, offering precision with a practical 60-minute chronograph function capable of measuring down to 1/20th of a second.
Price and Accessibility
Retailing at $495, the Bulova E1 Team Miami Racing Marine Star is presented on a dual-textured strap that combines light blue silicone and dark blue leather, punctuated with orange stitching for a striking finish.
The Bulova E1 Team Miami Racing Marine Star stands out for its association with high-profile celebrities and for its design that marries function with form.
This timepiece is part of Bulova’s sports timing heritage appealing to both enthusiasts of the E1 World Championship and those who appreciate a robust, stylistically distinct chronograph.
