Our take on the Men's Black Dial Mariner Star Bulova Watch 98A273

The Bulova Marine Star 98A273 is a men's automatic dive-style watch with an open-heart dial that shows the 21-jewel movement, plus an exhibition case back. A gold-tone stainless steel case and bracelet frame a black dial under flat mineral crystal, and it is rated to 200 meters. It suits buyers who want a dressy automatic with real water resistance, though the gold finish and mineral crystal put it below Swiss divers on scratch resistance and versatility.

Questions and answers

Is the Bulova 98A273 a true automatic?
Yes. It runs on a 21-jewel automatic movement, powered by wrist motion, and the open-heart dial and case back let you see it.
Can I swim with it?
It is rated to 200 meters, so swimming and snorkeling are within its rating. Avoid pressing the crown underwater and have it pressure-tested after service.
Does it have a date?
No. This Marine Star model is time-only, with no date window.
How does it compare with a Seiko diver?
Both offer automatic movements and 200 m ratings. The Bulova adds the open-heart dial and gold-tone bracelet; Seiko divers typically use Hardlex or sapphire and come in steel finishes.
What crystal does it use?
A flat mineral crystal. It resists knocks but scratches more easily than sapphire.
Does it need winding?
It winds from wrist movement. If you don't wear it for a day or two, it will stop and need a few turns of the crown or a shake to restart.
