Bulova Disco Automatic 38mm 97B247
4 interest free payments of $167.25
The Bulova Classic Disco 97B247 is a men's automatic watch in gold-tone stainless steel with a blue dial, a combination that leans fully into the 1970s styling the Disco line is built around. The 38mm case keeps the proportions of the era rather than scaling them up, and it flows into an integrated gold-tone stainless steel bracelet for a single continuous line across the wrist. The blue dial gives the gold somewhere to go — the two play off each other rather than compete — and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal sits over the top, so the dial stays clear through years of daily wear.
Underneath is a self-winding automatic movement that draws its power from the motion of your arm, with no battery and nothing to charge. Bulova has been making watches since 1875, and the Disco line revisits the brand's own archive rather than imitating someone else's, which is why the design feels authentic instead of costume.
Water resistance is rated to 30 metres, enough for rain and hand-washing but not for swimming. As a 38mm men's gold automatic dress watch, this is a piece for dinners, weddings and weekends, and for anyone who wants a blue-and-gold watch that reads as retro-confident rather than flashy.
What we love about this watch: The Disco 97B247 is the version of this design that takes a position. Steel is the safe choice; gold-tone with a blue dial is the one people notice, and because the case is a restrained 38mm it never tips into overstatement. Sapphire crystal and an automatic movement mean it's built to be worn, not saved for occasions. If you've been looking for a gold watch with some character, this is a strong place to start.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Bulova 97B247 automatic or battery-powered?
The Bulova Classic Disco 97B247 is an automatic watch with a self-winding mechanical movement. It winds from the natural motion of your wrist, so there is no battery to replace. If it sits unworn for a few days it will stop; just set the time and it will pick up again once you're wearing it.
Is the case solid gold or gold-plated?
Neither. The case and bracelet are gold-tone stainless steel, meaning a stainless steel base with a gold-coloured finish. This gives you the look of a gold watch with the durability and weight of steel, and at a fraction of the price of solid gold.
What size is the 97B247 and can I wear it in water?
The case is 38mm across, a classic dress-watch size that suits small to medium wrists and sits neatly under a shirt cuff. It is rated to 30 metres water resistance, which covers rain and splashes but not swimming or showering, so treat it as a dress watch around water.
