Bulova Men's Classic Sutton 4-Hand Automatic Watch

The Bulova Men’s Classic Sutton Automatic combines timeless design with a touch of modern mechanical flair. It's not just a dress watch — it's a piece that bridges elegance and engineering. With its open-heart dial, visible movement, and sophisticated detailing, this timepiece appeals to anyone who appreciates both aesthetics and craftsmanship. Unlike many quartz dress watches in its price range, the Sutton's automatic movement gives it life — a smooth sweeping seconds hand and a view into its mechanical heart. This watch feels alive on the wrist, offering both sophistication and personality for everyday business wear or formal occasions. Design & Build Quality. At first glance, the Sutton's dial immediately catches the eye. The open-heart window at 7 o'clock reveals the oscillating balance wheel — a subtle reminder that this is a true automatic, not a battery-powered piece. The sunray dial finish, combined with Roman numeral hour markers and skeleton hands, creates a refined, vintage-inspired look that never feels outdated. The case measures around 43 mm, giving it a bold wrist presence while remaining proportionate for most men's wrists. The stainless-steel construction feels solid, well-polished, and substantial without being heavy. A domed mineral crystal covers the dial, offering clarity and decent scratch resistance. On the back, you'll find an exhibition case back — another window into the automatic movement. It's a nice touch that reinforces Bulova's attention to mechanical artistry at an accessible price. The watch is typically paired with a brown or black leather strap, or stainless-steel bracelet depending on variant — both complement the design perfectly. Movement & Performance. Inside, the Sutton runs on a Japanese-made automatic movement, visible through both the front open-heart and rear exhibition case back. The four-hand configuration includes hour, minute, second, and 24-hour sub-dial, adding both functionality and balance to the dial layout. Accuracy is solid for an entry-level automatic — you can expect a slight deviation of a few seconds per day, which is standard for this type of movement. Power reserve is approximately 40 hours, so if you set it down for a day or two, it will keep running until you’re ready to wear it again. Unlike quartz watches, there’s no battery to replace — simply wear it daily or give it a few winds via the crown to keep it ticking smoothly.
