Amazon.com The Bulova Women\'s Windemere Watch #96R104 combines modern style and superior functionality with sumptuous details -- not least of which are the ten genuine, sparkling diamonds marking the hours. More diamonds are set in the bezel, creating a lovely frame for the mother-of-pearl dial. Luminous hands, black markers, and three subdials provide easy-to-read and superior timekeeping functionality. The silver-tone stainless steel bezel also sports engraved black Roman numerals at 12, three, six, and nine o\'clock. A handsome stainless steel bracelet finishes the watch\'s contemporary look. Like every Bulova watch, this one is built to last with top-quality materials, anti-magnetic and shock-resistant construction, and the unique, scratch-resistant Dura-Crystal. It is powered by Japanese-quartz movement and is water resistant to 99 feet. The Bulova Story In 1875, a young Czech immigrant named Joseph Bulova set up shop in New York City, and a legendary American watch brand was born. Bulova was trained as a jeweler, and his expertise carried over into his watchmaking career, which began around 1911 with boudoir clocks and pocket watches, and soon evolved to include what was then one of the latest and most fashionable technological innovations: the wristwatch. Bulova introduced its first line of wristwatches in 1919. The company grew and prospered, and soon early radio and television ads were declaring, \"America runs on Bulova time.\" In the 1950s, continuing its legacy of innovation, Bulova introduced Accutron, the first electronic watch, and the first breakthrough in timekeeping technology in over 300 years. The Accutron timing mechanism was later adapted for use by NASA computers and a Bulova timer was even placed on the moon to control transmissions of data. Bulova timepieces have kept official time aboard Air Force One and have also served as official timepieces for U.S. Olympic teams. Today, Bulova maintains its tradition of excellence in technology and design, offering a diverse collection of beautiful precision timepieces for every occasion.
