The Bulova Classic 97A161 is a 43 mm automatic dress watch with an open-aperture blue dial that shows part of the skeletonized movement. It runs on the Miyota 8N24, a 21-jewel automatic with a 42-hour power reserve, and sits in a rose gold-tone steel case on a blue alligator-textured leather strap. It suits buyers who want a visible mechanical movement and a two-tone look without stepping into luxury pricing. Against plain-dial automatics at the same level, it trades some legibility for the open dial and exhibition case back; the flat mineral crystal and 100 m rating are ordinary for the class, and the 43 mm case wears large on slim wrists. Owners rate it highly, and the recurring themes are the dial's looks and the value of a visible automatic movement.

Owners rate the 97A161 very highly and mostly talk about how it looks in person and the appeal of a visible automatic movement at this level. Complaints are few and center on size and the mineral crystal.
This men's automatic watch is part of Bulova's Classic Collection. It has a 43 mm rose gold-tone stainless steel case and an open aperture blue dial. The hands and markers are rose gold-tone.
An exhibition case back shows the Miyota 8N24 21-jewel automatic skeletonized movement. The movement has a 42-hour power reserve. A flat mineral crystal protects the dial, and the watch is water resistant to 100 meters.
The blue leather strap has an alligator texture and closes with a three-piece buckle.
