Bulova Surveyor Automatic 39mm 98a338

The Bulova Surveyor 98A338 is the two-tone one, and it's the version of this watch that suits the widest range of wardrobes. The 39mm case and bracelet combine silver-tone and gold-tone stainless steel, which means it sits comfortably alongside whatever metal is already on your wrist rather than demanding you choose. Against that, the dial is a radiant green with gold-tone accents — a colour that reads as considered rather than showy, deepening or brightening depending on the light. At six o'clock the dial opens into an aperture exposing the escapement and balance wheel, the part of the movement that actually regulates time, visibly oscillating as you wear it. Anti-reflective sapphire crystal keeps the green readable instead of turning it into a mirror, and the case takes standard 20mm lugs.

A 21-jewel automatic movement drives it, winding itself from the motion of your wrist with no battery to replace, and an exhibition caseback shows that movement working from behind. Open at the front and open at the back — that's a level of display usually reserved for watches at several times this price. At 39mm the case is a proper classic dress proportion: substantial on the wrist without becoming a statement piece, and slim enough to sit under a cuff. If you want a mechanical watch that adds colour without committing to one metal, this is the most versatile Surveyor Bulova makes.

What we love about this watch: Green dials have been everywhere for a few years, and most of them are either too dark to see or too bright to wear. Bulova pitched this one in the middle and paired it with gold-tone accents, which keeps it warm rather than sporty. Combined with a two-tone case that solves the "do I wear gold or silver" question entirely, the 98A338 is the Surveyor that requires the least thought and gets worn the most.
