Our take on the Bulova Classic Men's Watch 97B170

The Bulova Classic 97B170 is a large six-hand chronograph dress watch with a rose gold-tone stainless steel case and a dark blue textured dial. Applied Roman markers, a tachymeter scale and a calendar window give it a busier, more technical look than plain three-hand dress watches. At 46.5 mm it wears big, so it suits men with larger wrists or anyone who wants a statement watch. Water resistance is only 30 meters, so it is a desk and evening watch rather than a sports one.

Questions and answers

Is the Bulova 97B170 a good everyday watch?
It works for office and evening wear, but the 46.5 mm case and 30 m water resistance make it less suited to rough daily use than a sports watch.
Does the 97B170 have a sapphire crystal?
No. It uses domed mineral glass, which is more prone to scratching than sapphire.
Can I swim with this watch?
No. It is rated to 30 meters, which covers splashes and hand washing only.
What does the chronograph measure?
It is a six-hand chronograph with subdials, so it times elapsed intervals in addition to showing the time and date.

It is one of the larger Classic chronographs at 46.5 mm, with a textured blue dial and rose gold-tone case that set it apart from plainer steel models.
