Bulova Maquina 98A346 Automatic Skeleton Watch – 40mm Black & Silver-Tone with Black Rubber Strap
Bold tonneau styling with a 21-jewel automatic skeleton movement, curved sapphire crystal and modern black rubber strap
The Bulova Maquina 98A346 combines a highly modern tonneau-shaped case with an exposed mechanical movement for a distinctive contemporary look. Its 21-jewel automatic movement is visible through the open dial and exhibition-style caseback, while the black and silver-tone stainless steel case is paired with a durable black HNBR rubber strap. A dual-curved anti-reflective sapphire crystal, luminous hands and markers, and 42-hour power reserve make it as functional as it is visually striking.
