In laboratory testing, the Precisionist-class movement has been shown to be three times more accurate than standard quartz. This proprietary manufactured movement, including the signature floating second hand, also offers a resistance to gravitational error that makes it superior in performance to any mechanical watch on the market.Summary of Features Precision timing to 1/1,000th of a second 12-hour chronograph function One of the worlds most accurate movements - accurate to within seconds a year Precisionist-class torsional resonator movement proven in laboratory testing to be three times more accurate than standard quartz Stainless steel case and bracelet Curved mineral crystal Multiple-layer black carbon fiber, blue and silver dial Yellow continuously sweeping second hand Luminous hour and minute hands Luminous markers Calendar window Tachymeter Screw-back Screw-down crown Water resistant to 300 metersAbout BulovaIn 1875, Joseph Bulova, a 23-year-old immigrant, set up shop in New York City and a legendary American watch brand was born. Since then, Bulova has stood proudly in the vanguard of timekeeping innovation, committed to the legacy of creativity and excellence established by its founder.A pioneering force in the industry, Bulova transformed how watches were worn and how time was perceived, registering over 50 patents as he and his company built a record of creativity including the first full lines of mens (1919) and ladies (1924) wristwatches, the first clock/radio (1928) and the first electric clock (1931). To ensure the utmost in precision, in 1920, Bulova even established its own observatory - located atop its New York skyscraper. With that same spirit of innovation, following World War II, determined to serve those who served us, Bulova established The Bulova School of Watchmaking, using new and unique methods to train disabled veterans for positions in the watch and jewelry industry. Then, in 1960, Bulova changed tim
