Introduction This auction features the impressive Bulova Precisionist Chronograph (Ref. 96B175), a timepiece renowned for its extraordinary accuracy and bold, industrial design. Part of Bulova’s high-performance collection, this watch is engineered for those who demand technical excellence combined with a powerful wrist presence. It features a multi-layered dial and a specialized high-frequency quartz movement that stands apart from standard quartz watches. Historical / Era context Introduced in the early 2010s, the Precisionist line debuted Bulova's proprietary 262 kHz high-frequency quartz movement. This movement is unique for its continuous sweeping second hand—a feature typically reserved for mechanical watches—and its ability to provide timing accuracy to within seconds per year. The 96B175 model is designed as a professional-grade chronograph, capable of measuring time down to 1/1000th of a second, reflecting Bulova’s long-standing heritage of precision that dates back to its 19th-century origins in New York.
