A Modern Take on Refined Craftsmanship

The Surveyor collection represents Bulova's approach to quiet, everyday luxury — watches built around sculpted case design and genuine mechanical movements rather than flashy branding. The 97B234 is a clear example of that philosophy, pairing an automatic movement with finishing details usually found on watches well above its price point.

Design: Sculpted Edges in Rose Gold

Sculpted edges and faceting distinguish the 39mm rose gold-tone stainless steel case, which wears effortlessly on the wrist thanks to a mix of polished and brushed finishing. A flat, anti-reflective sapphire crystal tops the case, offering impact and shatter resistance while deflecting glare for cleaner dial visibility throughout the day.

The 3-link rose gold-tone stainless steel bracelet uses a push-button deployant clasp with easy-release latched spring bars, making sizing and strap swaps straightforward for a proper, secure fit.

The Dial: A Genuinely Distinctive Color Choice

Rather than the black or blue dials common in this category, the Surveyor 97B234 wears a captivating aubergine dial with a sunray finish — a deep, rich purple that shifts subtly with the light. Rose gold-tone accents echo the case color, while hands with luminescent fill, cutout minute markers, a magnified date display, and a recessed minute track round out a genuinely detailed dial layout.

Movement: 21 Jewels, Visible Through the Caseback

Inside is an automatic movement built with 21 jewels and a 42-hour power reserve — enough to keep the watch running through a full weekend off the wrist. An exhibition window on the case back lets owners see the movement in motion, a detail that speaks to genuine mechanical craftsmanship rather than a purely quartz, set-and-forget timepiece.

What to Know Before You Buy

The Surveyor 97B234 is rated for splash resistance rather than swimming or diving, so it's best suited to everyday wear, rain, and incidental water contact rather than pool or ocean use. At 39mm with a 20mm lug width, it wears as a versatile, moderately sized men's watch that suits both business and casual settings.

Authenticity & Warranty

As an authorized Bulova dealer, Lexor Miami guarantees that every Surveyor 97B234 is 100% authentic and backed by Bulova's 3-year limited manufacturer's warranty, with free shipping and free returns.

Care & Maintenance

• Wind the movement by hand if the watch sits unworn for more than a day or two, since the 42-hour power reserve will otherwise run down.
• Avoid submerging the watch in water; it's rated for splash resistance only, not swimming or diving.
• Wipe the sapphire crystal with a soft microfiber cloth rather than abrasive materials to preserve the anti-reflective coating.
• Have the movement serviced through an authorized Bulova service center on the manufacturer's recommended schedule.
