Drawing from Bulova’s legacy in motorsport—spanning everything from soapbox derbies to elite auto racing—the new Bulova men’s 5-hand Racer chronograph watch 98B427 is engineered for high performance and bold style. The sleek, contoured stainless steel case features an aerodynamic design inspired by the curves of the world’s fastest cars. A striking two-tone orange and black tachymeter ring provides added functionality, while bold pushers contribute to its automotive-inspired aesthetic.

The dial, crafted in black, showcases a dynamic racing pattern in orange and black along the chapter ring. Equipped with a date display at 6 o’clock, chronograph subdials, and a 24-hour indicator, this watch is designed for quick and clear timekeeping. The bright orange chronograph seconds hand stands out for maximum legibility, while silver-tone markers and beveled hands filled with luminescent material ensure readability in any lighting.

Complete with a perforated tan leather racing-style strap with a pin buckle closure, the Bulova men’s Racer chronograph is a stylish celebration of racing heritage, perfect for both high-speed adventures and everyday wear.

Additional features include a date function, tachymetre, anti-reflective sapphire crystal and water resistance to 100 metres. This iconic watch is completed with a special tan racing leather strap, a stainless steel case and an Aluminium bezel. The Racer Chronograph is shipped in a special Bulova Box.
