The brand opted for a material they’ve never used before—a hybrid ceramic case that performs well in different environments. Featuring a scratch-resistant casing, the new Bulova watch is quite durable and can retain its look for years.

It’s worth noting that the new collection is available in four different colors, which paint a clear picture of aquatic life and the aquatic environment.

The blue variant is based on the Caribbean Blue Tang fish, as it’s characterized by deep blue color accents, which adds some character to the whole timepiece.

The brown model, on the other hand, paints a clear picture of how a sea turtle glides through the ocean with a green strap, complemented by a brown dial.
