Product Description
The Bulova 98A293 Octava delivers unapologetic boldness with a skeletonized automatic movement framed inside a gold-tone stainless steel case. Known for fusing technical craft with visual impact, the Octava line pushes the edge of modern watchmaking aesthetics and this model is its most dramatic iteration.
Powering the 98A293 is an automatic movement with 40-hour power reserve, fully visible through a cutout skeleton dial and exhibition caseback. The 46mm case size amplifies presence on the wrist, further elevated by 251 individually hand-set crystals across the bezel, case, and bracelet. This crystal-encrusted profile contrasts with mechanical openness at the dial center, where exposed gears highlight the watch’s self-winding heartbeat.
The gold-tone bracelet also set with crystals integrates seamlessly with the case and is fitted with a deployant clasp. Water resistance is rated to 30 meters, offering basic protection from splashes. The Octava 98A293 speaks to a design language where mechanical complexity meets unapologetic flash, appealing to collectors who favor show-stopping visibility alongside genuine mechanical functionality.
This model has earned attention for its skeleton construction and bold crystal work, making it a standout in Bulova’s modern automatic lineup. The 98A293 doesn’t shy away from presence it owns it.
