Its redesigned unidirectional bezel with a bi‑colour aluminium insert complements the dynamic sunray dial, which shifts from silver to black for a bold, high‑contrast look.
Luminous hands and hour markers ensure exceptional legibility in all conditions—whether above or below the surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the rubber strap on the Bulova Marine Star 98B465 durable, and can it get wet?
Yes on both counts. The strap is HNBR rubber — a high-grade compound used in professional dive equipment precisely because it resists salt water, chlorine, sweat, sunscreen and UV far better than the silicone or PU straps found on cheaper watches. It's soft, flexible and comfortable straight out of the box, and unlike a steel bracelet it's completely at home in the ocean or pool with zero corrosion risk. Rinse it in fresh water after sea swimming and it will look new for years. Many buyers actually choose this variant over the bracelet models specifically for water use and warm-weather comfort.
Why is the 98B465 cheaper than the other Marine Star Series B models?
Only because of the strap. The watch case is identical to its bracelet-fitted siblings — same 41mm stainless steel case, same automatic movement with 42-hour power reserve, same 200m water resistance, screw-down crown, sapphire crystal and unidirectional timing bezel. The rubber strap simply costs less to produce than a solid H-link steel bracelet. That makes the 98B465 the value pick of the range: you get 100% of the mechanical watch for the lowest price, with the grey-to-black gradient dial giving it arguably the most versatile look of the four. It's the best seller in the Series B line for exactly that reason.
How accurate is the Bulova Marine Star 98B465?
As a mechanical automatic, the 98B465 keeps time differently from a quartz watch: expect it to gain or lose a small number of seconds per day rather than seconds per month. That variance is normal and inherent to all automatic watches at every price — it's the trade-off for a watch powered purely by mechanics, with no battery, visible through the exhibition case back. Accuracy typically settles after the first few weeks of wear, and wearing it consistently keeps it running at its best. If precise-to-the-second timekeeping matters more to you than mechanical craft, a quartz Marine Star may suit you better — and we're happy to advise.
