Materials & Build
The Bulova Men's Crystal Phantom features a 40mm stainless steel case with a thickness designed to sit comfortably under a shirt cuff. The dial is paved with hundreds of authentic crystals, protected by a metalized curved mineral crystal that resists scratches and impacts. The two-tone bracelet uses a secure fold-over clasp with a double-press release, ensuring the watch stays centered on your wrist during movement. The gold-tone accents are applied with a durable finish that resists fading, while the silver-tone stainless steel provides a sturdy foundation for the intricate stone settings.

Sizing & Fit
This watch features a 40mm case diameter, making it a versatile size for most wrist shapes. The cushion shape makes it wear slightly larger than a standard round 40mm watch, providing more presence on the arm. The stainless steel bracelet is adjustable by removing links to fit wrists from approximately 160mm to 210mm in circumference. It uses a standard lug attachment, meaning you can swap the bracelet for other straps if you prefer a different look for specific occasions.

FAQ
Can I change the band on this watch?
Yes, you can swap the metal bracelet for a leather or silicone strap to change the look. Consult our watch band replacement guide for step-by-step instructions on how to safely remove the pins without scratching the cushion case or the crystal-encrusted lugs.
Is the Bulova Crystal Phantom water resistant?
This model is rated for 30 meters. It handles splashes, rain, and hand washing easily. We do not recommend swimming or showering with this watch, as steam and prolonged submersion can affect the internal seals and the integrity of the crystal settings over time.
How do I adjust the date and time?
Pull the crown out to the first position and rotate it to change the date. Pull it to the second position to adjust the time. Ensure you do not adjust the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to protect the movement gears. Push the crown back in fully to maintain the seal.
Are the crystals real and will they fall out?
Bulova uses authentic crystals for the Phantom series. Each of the 468 stones is individually set into the dial, bezel, and bracelet to ensure they remain secure. The settings are designed for daily wear, providing a consistent, brilliant sparkle in various lighting conditions without the stones becoming loose.
What is the battery life for this quartz movement?
The quartz movement typically runs for 2 to 3 years before requiring a battery change. Because it is a 3-hand movement with a date function, it is very efficient. When the battery runs low, the second hand may jump in two-second increments to notify you that it is time for a replacement.
