Bulova Maquina 98A318 Automatic Skeleton Watch – 40mm Blue HNBR Strap
 
Bold tonneau-shaped automatic watch with exposed 21-jewel movement, sapphire crystal, blue skeleton dial and rose-gold-tone accents
The Bulova Maquina 98A318 combines a modern tonneau-shaped case with a fully exposed mechanical design. Its skeletonized dial reveals the automatic movement beneath the hands and hour markers, while the blue dial detailing, rose-gold-tone accents and matching blue rubber strap give the watch a distinctive contemporary appearance.
Powered by Bulova’s 21-jewel automatic mechanical movement, the watch winds through normal wrist motion and requires no battery. A dual-curved sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the exhibition caseback provides another view of the movement.
