Why We Love This Deal
Amazon seems to be in the midst of an under-the-radar sale on Bulova watches. Just last week, I spotted a gorgeous Marine Star Series B Chronograph on sale for over half off its normal price, and today, its sibling, the Series C Chronograph, is also on sale with a sweet discount.
Bulova’s Marine Star Series C Chronograph Quartz Watch (model number 96B272) is on sale for just $322, a 44% discount from its normal price of $575. Amazon’s sale price beats the sale prices at Kohl’s and direct from Bulova, too. Walmart is selling this same watch for just $308, but there’s only one left in stock.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Movement: Quartz
- Case Material: Stainless steel
- Case Size: 45mm
- Lens: Domed mineral crystal
- Water Resistance Rating: 200 meters
The Series C really leans into the dive watch genre, more so than its Series B sibling. The Series C boasts a 200-meter water-resistance rating (the Series B has a 100-meter rating), and it also features a rotating bezel, which divers use to track elapsed time underwater.
On land or at sea, it looks incredibly sharp with its stainless steel case and matching bracelet paired with a contrasting deep black dial and matching black bezel. Like the Series B, it features a chronograph complication—you can use the pushers to activate a stopwatch function. A date window at 6 o’clock helps you track your calendar, and the lumed hands and indexes make it easier to read in the dark.
It’s capped with an impact-resistant mineral crystal, and a trusty quartz movement keeps the whole thing ticking reliably day after day. With its tool watch heritage, this Series C is a perfect daily driver watch: You can dress it down with casual outfits, but it also pairs nicely with a dark suit. With its hefty 45mm case, it’s a great choice for guys with bigger wrists.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Shoppers say this watch is classic Bulova: a well-made watch that offers excellent value. Many praised its “bold and handsome” dive watch-inspired styling. Others said that, aesthetically, this watch is on par with models that cost way more. One shopper said it “looks more expensive than it is” and made a great birthday gift. Shoppers also raved about its highly accurate quartz movement. Overall, it’s “a beautiful, reliable, great-looking watch.” You can’t go wrong with that.
We’ve seen the Marine Star Series C nearly go out of stock several times in the last few days, and there’s no telling how long this killer 44% discount will last. Pick up yours today—you won’t regret scoring a great deal on this stunning timepiece.
