Bulova 98A320 Maquina Automatic Black IP Bracelet Watch - W09376

Ref. 98A320

The Maquina line is Bulova's case for aggressive skeleton design at an accessible automatic tier — all-black geometry, exposed movement and a contemporary attitude that sits some distance from the brand's more classical catalogue. This particular reference takes that logic to its conclusion: the bridges, dial ring and case treatment are unified in black, so nothing interrupts the view of the 21-jewel movement beneath, which is also visible through the caseback. On the wrist the effect is more cohesive than it might appear in photographs. The all-black treatment means the mechanical detail reads as depth rather than clutter, and the multi-colour patterning on the movement provides the only contrast against the surrounding darkness. The deployant clasp and 40mm case keep it secure and proportionate for daily wear, though 50m is a splash rating rather than a swimming one.
