For travelers, adventure awaits but trains, planes and Uber drivers seldom do. That’s why for serious globetrotters, a reliable timepiece is a must, and there's no better place to shop for one than Bulova.
The best watches for travel must fulfill so much more than telling time. They’ve got to look handsome and appropriate wherever your journey may take you, come out unscathed from the bumps of a bustling marketplace, and survive surprise rainfall. Bonus points for its ease in changing the time for transcontinental travel, of course.
Now that summer is here and travel is atop everyone’s mind we’ve rounded up the best Bulova watches for your next adventure.
Marine Star Series B, $394 (was $525) at Bulova
With water resistance up to 100 meters and impact and shatter resistance, Bulova’s stainless steel Marine Star can weather even the wettest of seafaring adventures. Functional and handsome to boot, this classic diver style-inspired timepiece packs six hands, a blue dial and quartz movement. This 43mm piece is perfect for everyday wear or a day at sea. Blue not your liking? Luckily, the Marine Star is available in over a dozen permutations, including ones with gold accents, orange textured silicone bands, and rose gold finishes.
Wilton GMT, $656 (was $875) at Bulova
It’s all about the details with the Wilton GMT. Timeless and elegant, this luxurious piece is designed for the world traveler, with an impressive GMT function that allows you to easily track a second time zone. This 43mm watch is made of stainless steel and has a blue dial with a stylish world map design. You can even take a peek at its self-winding 24 jewel automatic movement when off wrist.
Oceanographer GMT, $971 (was $1,295) at Bulova
The Bulova Oceanographer GMT is a watch designed for adventure. It can withstand 200 meters of water and has a luminous dial for easy reading in darker conditions. Like the Wilton GMT, it also has a GMT function to track a second time zone. This diver watch comes with a comfortable silicone strap, which is uncompromisingly made for travel, but for those who want a more classic look, models with full steel bracelets are also available.
Jet Star, $595 at Bulova
Super accurate and equally eye-catching, the Jet Star is a legendary timepiece that has a place in every watch roll. The Jet Star’s design remains mostly unchanged since its original release, but the timekeepers among us will appreciate the precisionist movement, a mechanism vibrating at a remarkable 262kHz, which is accurate to 5 seconds per month. Shoppers have a variety of options to choose from: a stainless steel version with a red face, a gold-toned number with leather strap, and a limited edition make with a blue and red chapter ring and an additional blue leather strap.
Sutton Classic, $446 (was $595) at Bulova
On the spectrum of functional and form, the Bulova Sutton seems, at least on its face, closer to the luxury and fashion realm—but don’t let its sophisticated design fool you. The Sutton is at home in the office and en route to your next adventure. While it’s not as water-resistant as its siblings, offering just 30 meters without any damage, it’s no slouch by offering similar impact- and shatter-resistance. On the looks front, you can expect a self-winding 21-jewel movement, domed mineral crystal, and brown leather strap that compliments its gold and silver face.
