UHF is Ultra High Frequency, and this increases accuracy in this Bulova that runs at 262kHz, which also allows a sweep second hand.  Model reference 96B230.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

From the date code on the case back we know this watch was made in 2016.

CONDITION

The watch is like new and has only been worn for a few hours, so is perfect.  The sticker is still on the case back.  We have been the only owner of this watch.

262kHz is 8 times faster than a standard quartz watch, so this watch is both accurate to withing a few seconds per year and has a sweeping second hand like a mechanical movement.  So no one can say it is ‘just a quartz’ – this is good horology and interesting, with quartz grab and go convenience.  The coin rim bezel and white hands give a military look, but the 42mm stainless steel case shows it is a modern watch.  You have a screw down crown to aid water resistance, which is officially rated at 100m but you wouldn’t take a watch on a leather strap when diving.  This watch has an RRP of £229.99.  It is worth seeing the video on this one to see the sweep hand in action.

This watch will be supplied with the original presentation box, instruction book, hangtag and our Certificate of Authenticity.
