Bulova Men's Skeleton Automatic Watch with Stainless Steel Strap 96A207

Product Information

If you like to see the technical side of things, this would be an excellent watch for you. These days, more and more companies are producing creative designs, so you will not run out of excellent models to choose from.

Maurice Lacroix is a Swiss brand that has been around for 40 years, at the company’s own state-of-the-art workshops at Saignelegier. This is a relatively new brand, so they have still yet to gain a strong and consistent reputation like other luxury Swiss brands like Ulysse Nardin, which has been around for more than a century (we will talk more about this brand later). There are some, however, who expressed dissatisfaction, saying how the watch stopped working after a few months. The dial is pretty rudimentary, with its design featuring analog dial hands and Arabic numeral hour markers—the case measures at a snug 40mm. Within lies a precise Japanese automatic movement.

15 Best Affordable Skeleton Watches (Automatic) For Men

One could say, however, that skeleton watches are an acquired taste. One of the possible downsides of having a skeleton watch is readability. Because you will be able to see what’s happening inside the timepiece, there will be a lot of things going on, and being able to see the time at a glance could take some getting used to. This model has a water resistance of 100m–still not as deep as other watches, but better compared to most skeleton models. It’s a 43mm watch with a tachymeter scale, an anti-reflective sapphire crystal case, a 50-hour power reserve. Tag Heuer is a luxury brand, so this comes with a hefty price tag. This last model from Stuhrling was also featured in our ‘ most popular Stuhrling watches for men‘. I love the amount of the automatic watch movements that’s on show, it looks awesome. The seconds being displayed on a separate sub dial is also an interesting touch for a skeletonized watch. This one is 43mm, and has features such as a leather strap, a domed sapphire crystal that’s scratch-resistant, and has a power reserve of 46 hours. Like the previous Hamiltons, this one is also water-resistant up to a pressure of 50m. Orient watches are synonymous with class, and they continue to prove that with the Orient Star Modern Skeleton Automatic Watch.

This one has Breguet-style watch hands and an onion crown. Brooklyn-based Stührling has only been around for 15 years, but the brand has already established a good reputation. The Zenith Chronomaster El Primero Skeleton is a watch for those willing to shell out tens of thousands for a watch.The refined aesthetic of the skeletal dial further augments the brown dial and genuine leather strap. The Tissot T-Complication Squelette Mechanical watch has a wheel-inspired design and has a hand-wound mechanical skeleton movement. If you would like to invest in a watch where you can see all of the precise movements, this one is an excellent choice.

Staying within the realm of classical Swiss-made skeleton watches, we come to the Tissot Chemin des Tourelles Squelette . This piece comes in either a traditional stainless steel case or a gold PVD stainless steel case in slightly larger proportions than the Hamilton, and you can feel the size difference. An expansive sapphire crystal exposes nearly the entire mainplate of the manual winding ETA 6497 beneath. The dial is not much more than a hollowed ring upon which the applied numerals are placed, along with a sub-seconds register ring. This forum shows that despite the low prices, owners are generally happy with their watches—there is a good warranty, and the design remains excellent. This is the 96A187 model, and there’s also another version from the same collection with rose gold-tone accents ( the 98A166 ). A skeleton watch is already eye-catching, but if you’re looking for something much more unique, this is something worth considering. Some say Joseph Bulova changed the way watches are worn and perceived. Hailing from New York since the 1800s, Bulova watches are opulent, innovative and crafted with engineering artistry. The brand consistently strives for innovation and works to include the latest technology in every timepiece – shown through the introduction of the world’s first curved chronograph movement, the Bulova Curv.Here we have another affordable skeleton watch from Stuhrling who really go have an awesome selection available. This model features a genuine leather strap, automatic movement, Krysterna crystal, and a 50m water resistance rating. While the watch is made from durable materials like stainless steel, it does not have very good water resistance. This model is only resistant to 30m, so while it can withstand some splashes of water, you cannot take it swimming. This is a large watch, 52mm so if you have small wrists, this might not be for you. That being said, it’s would be excellent for those who would like to use the watch as a piece of jewelry—a big and bold statement that will get compliments. Other features include a stainless steel case and bezel, a screw-down crown, and a strap made of stainless steel and polyurethane. If the cut-out dial style of the Open Heart model is not for you, another similar design and that you can consider is the Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic Skeleton . Also, this timepiece’s structure provides solid 30-meter water resistance. It also comes in several variations that do add index hour markers to the dial’s design.

The dial features bronze hour markers and luminous hands. It also features a stunning ‘open heart’ display along with two additional sub-dials. Orient managed to incorporate all these flourishes into the dial without making it look cluttered, which is an impressive feat. The construction of the round case also provides the Bambino Open Heart with a 30-meter water resistance rating. All in all, this is an excellent addition to your collection and a must-have for Orient Bambino timepiece collectors. The high-tech ceramic case in this timepiece is hypoallergenic, making it suitable for those with extra-sensitive skins. The case is also lightweight, scratch-resistant, and thermal-resistant. Also, RADO creates some of the most uncompromising timepieces around. This model has a beautiful automatic movement that can be viewed through the open heart design of the dial. Extra features include a genuine leather strap, mineral glass, and a 30m water resistance rating.If you would like to read more about Hamilton’s history and other collections, you can read our previously published review of the company here.
