What makes the Bulova 96B471 Tony Bennett special
Inspired by the philosophy of Bulova and the musical legacy of one of the most emblematic voices in jazz, this men's watch combines a classic profile with timeless elegance, enhanced by a seconds hand featuring the silhouette of Tony Bennett's iconic handkerchief. Within the Bulova Archive Series 'We Are All Here', designed to celebrate culture and history, the Bulova Classic 96B471 is a piece that successfully integrates 80s design with a restrained 32 mm structure. It is not a simple collaboration; it is a tribute to an American jazz icon, creating a purely masculine and artistic link. Unlike contemporary watches that seek prominence through volume, this reference bets on the eloquence of detail, achieving a piece that sits on the wrist with a discreet and unmistakable presence, backed by the watchmaking tradition of Bulova Corporation.
Construction and finishes of the Bulova 96B471
Stainless steel case with a 32 mm diameter in a rectangular 'Tank' shape, with an ultra-thin profile of just 7 mm and a weight of 114 grams, designed for absolute comfort and to slide subtly under a shirt cuff. The smooth bezel frames a champagne-colored dial with vertical brushing, whose reflections play with light in a changing manner. The silver-tone hands and indices complement the warmth of the ensemble, creating a contrast of exceptional visual richness. The master detail lies in the seconds hand, whose counterweight emulates the pocket handkerchief that Bennett made his personal hallmark. A flat sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment protects the set from bumps and constant friction with fabrics and buttons.
9U13 quartz movement of the Bulova Tony Bennett 96B471
The interior of this 96B471 watch is equipped with the Bulova 9U13 quartz caliber, a high-precision movement with a maximum deviation of ±20 seconds per month. This mechanism manages time functions with total accuracy and is the key component that allows maintaining a thickness of just 7 mm, demonstrating that quartz precision is the heart of its elegant slimness, where a mechanical movement would penalize aesthetics.
Wearing experience of the Bulova 96B471
As a dress watch par excellence, its 20 mm stainless steel bracelet, with a double-push butterfly clasp, embraces the wrist with just the right solidity, perfectly framing the easy-to-read champagne dial. The design maintains the symmetry of the set, something vital in a rectangular format where any misalignment is visually noticeable. Thanks to its 3 ATM (30 meters) water resistance, it protects the mechanism from accidental splashes, making it the ideal companion for the man seeking a touch of distinction and a musical tribute in both formal and cultural settings. On the closed, engraved case back, you will find Tony Bennett's autograph signature, the definitive seal of authenticity of this special edition.
