The tonneau case, the textured mesh bracelet, the sliding clasp — details pulled directly from Bulova's vintage archive and reissued with the material confidence the original deserved. Each dial is cut from genuine semi-precious stone, which means no two watches are identical: the natural variegation and striation in the sodalite and tiger's eye shift and layer in a way that no printed or lacquered dial can replicate. The Goddess of Time herself is etched into the caseback in fine relief — a detail that rewards the wearer who looks for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 17mm stainless steel tonneau case features a textured top surface and a brightly polished bezel, transitioning without interruption into the textured mesh bracelet.

Applied markers and matching hands keep the dial readable without competing with the stone. An anti-reflective domed sapphire crystal sits above the dial. Water resistance is 30 meters — daily wear and the occasional splash. The two variants split on case and bracelet finish: the Blue Sodalite in silver-tone stainless, and the Tiger's Eye in rose gold-tone ion-plated stainless — each matched to its dial in a way that feels considered rather than coincidental.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside both watches runs the Bulova 5Y26 quartz caliber — a reliable, battery-powered movement accurate to ±15 seconds per month.
