Besides adding elegance points, the enclosures within the guard will be preventing malfunctions and inaccuracies. But you can also forget about these elegant details and pivot right to the push/pull onion-style crown and crown guard, with the knob's spherical shape and vertical grooves resembling an onion, hence the moniker. You can start with the Krysterna crystals on the front and back. From its Breguet-style hands to printed Roman numerals, the watch oozes antique esteem.

The Stuhrling 6053.33113 is vintage through and through. Other than that, the Bulova 96B270 is big, heavy, beautifully crafted, and always accurate, maintaining the classic timekeeping art without forgetting to move forward. Where the product somewhat falls down is that the beautiful gift box is not packing an owner's manual, so you'll have to consult the Internet to figure out battery replacement and other maintenance concerns. The idea here was to make the watch's face as clean and uncluttered as possible without making the product too basic, hence the tiny little calendar window that shows you the current date. Plus, the case also protects the mechanisms inside against dust and moisture. In other words, the watch embraces the future without denying its past.Īppearance aside, the model's future also comes from the 50-mm stainless steel case that's waterproof up to 100 feet, enough to survive temporary submersion and deal with splashes with ease. The finish is not too rough yet not too polished, giving the model character but without making this timepiece look unrefined. The cover's etched with this tuning fork logo, adding edge to its otherwise clean profile.

The Bulova 96B270 presents a refreshing take on the classic retro look, not too decorated/accessorized yet not too minimalistic and understated too.
