Now this classic watch is a steal and worth adding to any collection. The Bulova Men’s Computron. The updated style features a sleek black stainless steel case on a black rubber strap, a red LED display, expanded digital functionality with dual time zone capabilities, and a distinctly retro design that is as relevant today as it was in the 1970s.

Christopher Ward does pretty much everything right, selling watches direct to consumers, thereby lowering prices and putting more of the money into the watch. The new C1 Moonglow is attractive and presents two three-dimensional moons on the dial, coated with Grade X1 GL C1 Super-LumiNova® which emits an otherworldly ‘moonglow’. The in-house moon phase movement also tracks the moon’s orbit accurately for 128 years.
